We are thrilled to announce that this year the Space group pre conference workshop in Graz will have a star speaker, the ESA astronaut Jean-François Clervoy. He will also be the main speaker at the session "Cooperation in the space: The ISS" on 9 June. Besides his main role in the pre-conference and in the space group session he will also be available at ESA-Ecsite Space Group booth for the opening of the Business Bistro.
