Dear colleagues,

 

The United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs and the Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO) are jointly organising the UN/SKAO workshop on Dark and Quiet Skies for Science and Society that will be held at the United Nations Office at Vienna and online, from 9 to 11 December 2025.

 

The purpose of this workshop is to provide an overview of activities carried out by both astronomers and satellite stakeholders to minimize the impact of satellites on astronomical sciences. In addition, the legal and regulatory aspects of keeping skies dark and quiet will be explored. The workshop will bring together the community of astronomers who are experts on this topic, stakeholders from the satellite industry that develop or employ mitigation measures to reduce their impact on astronomy, and the diplomatic community preparing technical and legal contributions to the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS) and its subcommittees.

 

For more details, please see the UNOOSA webpage: https://www.unoosa.org/oosa/en/ourwork/psa/schedule/2025/UN-SKAO-dark-and-quiet-skies-2025.html

We would be thankful if you could please forward this information to any interested party. More details, with a link to the registration form, are available on the workshop webpage and the call for abstracts is open until 31 August 2025.

 

Thank you,

UNOOSA Events
