These events are free and open to all and will be hosted on Zoom. If you felt it might be relevant, we would be hugely grateful and honoured if you would consider sharing it online or through mailing lists. With such distinguished speakers, the event is sure to be of high quality, and we would be very keen for it to be made known to all interested in politics and international relations to space and cosmology.

 

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions at all. Many thanks indeed for your time and consideration.

 

Yours faithfully,

Nanaka
