Prospective seminars

The scientific community decides about the space program orientations every 4-5 years during the Scientific Prospective Conferences organised by the CNES.

This recurring exercise directs the space research in France for 4 in the next 5 years. It gathers the whole spatial scientific community. It draws the balance sheet of the previous seminar and decides on big orientations for the future.

The CNES having no spatial laboratories, it is all the spatial community which is involved.
