Dear Colleagues, Dear space enthusiasts,As the President of the Italian Association of Aeronautics and Astronautics, AIDAA, I am proud to invite you to the 75th International Astronautical Congress, IAC, which will take place in Milan in October 2024.
The Italian Association of Aeronautics and Astronautics, one of the oldest Astronautical Associations worldwide and a founding member of IAF, is pleased to serve as the host of IAC 2024 and welcome you to Italy, one of the leading countries for space activities.
The Italian Space Agency and Leonardo co-host the 75th edition of IAC. The synergy among the national agency, the leading Italian aerospace company, and the academia, represented by AIDAA, was the primary strength of Milan’s bid and perfectly embodies the spirit of IAC, i.e., an event to gather all space players, share ideas and shape the future of the space exploration and responsible exploitation.
Inspired by the motto of IAC 2022, “Space for @ll”, our efforts are directed towards organizing a fully inclusive edition of the International Astronautical Conference. The 3G activities promoted by the IAF represent the foundation on which IAC 2024 is organized to offer an inclusive event for all, regardless of gender, geography, and age.
In 2024, Italy celebrates the 60th anniversary of the launch of the first Italian satellite, the San Marco 1, thanks to which Italy is counted as the third country in the world, and the first in Europe, to launch a satellite. Sixty years after the launch of San Marco 1, Italy is still one of the leading countries in space exploration and service. Therefore, the organization of IAC 2024 in Italy will be an outstanding opportunity to celebrate this historical national goal.
Past achievements should encourage us to pursue even greater ambitions; in Latin, Ab alto ad altum. Therefore, sixty years after the beginning of the Italian space activities, we propose the motto: Responsible Space for Sustainability. The motto contains a dilemma; space-based technologies are vital for the present social life and a sustainable future, but outer space is a finite resource, and we must preserve this asset for future generations. IAC 2024 aims to address this issue and propose appropriate solutions.
Italy is an excellent destination for IAC 2024. The country of Galileo Galilei and Leonardo Da Vici combines history, arts, technology, and innovation. The city of Milano is the second-largest Italian city, prevalently industry- and business-oriented, and, recently, has been the host city of the international exposition, EXPO 2015. Milano has the required facilities and logistics to meet the needs of the currently growing events at IAC. The Municipality of Milano, the Regione Lombardia, and the Italian Government strongly support IAC 2024.
We are proud to offer a superb conference center, Allianz MiCo, equipped with the latest technologies and satisfying the high standards required by IAC 2024. Furthermore, the Milano Convention Centre – MiCo – is adjacent to the new Citylife district, a perfect space to spend spare time between the events of IAC.
Let me conclude this letter with a warm invitation to be part of IAC 2024 and make the 75th edition the stage to share your ideas, business, and vision.
We look forward to welcoming you to Milan,
Best regards,
Erasmo Carrera,
President of A.I.D.A.A. Associazione Italiana di Aeronautica ed Astronautica.
Local Chairman of IAC 2024 Milano.
