The 2006 National Space Awareness Workshop (NSAW) organized by CAISU was held November 18 & 19 at Carleton University in
Ottawa, in conjunction with the Canadian Space Summit.
This year's theme is: "Why pursue space?". Participants will have the opportunity to find innovative ways and develop creative strategies to reshape the Canadian Space Program. The workshop is aimed at enhancing general public interest and strengthening government funding in the space sector through this very dynamic and interdisciplinary setting. Participants will receive lectures by worldwide experts, researchers, and professors in the space industry and will form working groups to address the conference theme. After the conference, results from the individual working groups will be collated into a final report and distributed to interested parties, Canadian universities, Canadian space companies and stakeholders of the Canadian space
industry.
