The Space Agency Event, part of the programming for the 9th Global Energy and Water Exchanges (GEWEX) Open Science Conference (OSC), occurs the day before the start of the 9th GEWEX OSC. This unique opportunity is partly intended to facilitate engagement between Early Career Researchers and representatives from space agencies across the globe.
It will be held on Sunday, July 7, 2024 from 13:00 until 18:30, and will conclude with an informal reception sponsored by JAXA starting at 17:10. The day will begin with overview presentations from the various agencies, followed by several breakout sessions to allow for direct interaction with the representatives. The program is listed below.
