The Space Generation Advisory Council (SGAC) is a global non-governmental organisation and professional network which aims to represent university students and young space professionals to the United Nations, space agencies, industry, and academia. SGAC works on the international, national and local level to link together university students and young professionals to think creatively about international space policy issues and inject the youth point of view into international space policy creation.

It works in support of the United Nations Programme on Space Applications.

SGAC's Goals are:

• to provide access to our members to inject their thoughts, views and opinions on the direction of international space policy;
• to undertake projects on key topics of relevance to international space policy and our members ;
• to present the student and young professional viewpoint around the world;
• to provide a dynamic forum in which students and young professionals can expand their knowledge of international space policy issues, build networks and think creatively about the future direction of humanity's use of space.

The European Space Policy Institute (ESPI) provides decision-makers with an informed view on mid- to longterm issues relevant to Europe’s space activities. In this context, ESPI acts as an independent platform for developing positions and strategies.

ESPI was established following a decision by the Council of the European Space Agency (ESA). Based in Vienna, it is structured as an association under Austrian Law. It incorporates a number of member institutions drawn from European agencies, operators and companies.
