Space Law Course

Sapienza University of Rome boasts a consolidated tradition of study, research and teaching in the field of space activities and it is the only University in Italy to have offered a dedicated course on the law of space activities since long time. The Course, held at the Department of Political Sciences, is aimed at developing the student’s ability to learn the law related to the exploration and use of outer space and celestial bodies and providing a basic knowledge of the legal rules applicable to space activities.

Italy has a well-established tradition of participation in space missions, as well as national excellencies in the field of the exploration and use of outer space and celestial bodies and in the space industry (such as the VEGA launcher). Furthermore, it actively participates in international bodies for space cooperation, such as the United Nations Committee for the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS), the European Space Agency (ESA), of which it is the third largest funder, the European Union (EU), with the Galileo and Copernicus programmes.

The Course includes the examination of international treaties, EU law, non-legally binding instruments (declarations of principles, technical standards, codes of conduct) and national space legislation.
