Space communications play a key role in today’s world. Rapid technical and political developments raise new legal questions. The 13th international SES workshop will focus on three topical areas that merit particular attention - the regulatory framework for the expanding Direct-to-Device (D2D) technology; the legal aspects of the EU IRIS² constellation which is envisaged to provide secure connectivity services for Europe; and the regulatory and licensing challenges associated with the ground infrastructure necessary to operate satellite services. The workshop will feature high-profiled speakers from international, European and national institutions, industry and academia, facilitating a qualified exchange of information, and highlighting synergies with evolving legislation, including the recent draft of the EU Space Act. 10.00 WelcomeAdel Al-Saleh, CEO, SESMarc Serres, CEO, Luxembourg Space AgencyDirk Zetsche, Head of the Department of Law, University of LuxembourgMahulena Hofmann, SES Chair in Space, SatCom and Media Law, University of LuxembourgAaron Shourie, Chief Legal OfficerYana Malevanova, Associate Legal Counsel, SES 10.45 Space Communications in 3rd Millenium: Challenges, Regulation and Technology: Setting the FrameJean-Pierre Choffray, Vice President, Systems Engineering, SES 11.00 Panel I: ITU and Direct-to-Device Technology (D2D)Chair: Nick Sinanis, Radiocommunication Bureau, ITUPaul Liias, Head of Space Policy, Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communication, EstoniaJoël Grotz, Senior Manager, Technology Development, SESStéphane Mebay Ekome, Senior Engineer, Spectrum Management and Development EMEA, SES 12.30 Lunch BreakVisit of premises with Tom Zoller, Station Support, SES 14.00 Panel II: EU, ESA and Iris2 - Status Quo and OutlookChair: Sergio Marchisio, President of the European Centre of Space Law (ECSL) Shruti Vyas, Vice President, IRIS2 &amp; Next Generation MEO Programme, SESGisela Suess, Head of the Legal Services Department, ESALeopold Mantl, Legal Service of the European CommissionGuy Harles, Head of Unit Connectivity-Space, Ministry of State, LuxembourgLorenzo Miccinesi, Associate Legal Counsel IRIS2, SESAnna Masutti, University of Bologna 15.30 Coffee Break 16.00 Panel III: Ground Infrastructure - Regulatory and Licensing ChallengesChair: Lesley Jane Smith, Professor of Law, Leuphana University of Lüneburg Guy Mahowald, Head of Spectrum Department, Luxembourg Regulatory InstituteCécil Ameil, Director, Regulatory Affairs, SESPhillipe Achilleas, Professor of Public Law, Idest – University Paris-SaclayAttila Matas, Former Head of the Space Publications and Registration Division, ITUTheodora Liameti, Regulatory Market Access Analyst, Eutelsat GroupGabrielle Leterre, Postdoctoral Researcher, University of Luxembourg 17.30 Closing RemarksMahulena Hofmann, SES Chair in Space, SatCom and Media Law, University of Luxembourg.
