A series of lectures in each field of study that is designed primarily for non-experts is presented. Thus, med­ical specialists can understand the lec­tures on propulsion and engineers and lawyers can understand the lectures on the effects of weightlessness on the human body.

Core lectures are often grouped in clusters. Questions from participants and group discussions with the lectur­ers are encouraged.

Knowledge gained from the core lec­tures allows participants to:

• Understand the very large range of factors, both technical and non-tech­nical, involved in space activity
• Apply good decision-making and management skills to projects
• Appreciate the relevance of all dis­ciplines during the development and exploitation of space activities
