NEXT GLOBAL NETWORK SPACE CONFERENCE
The High North and International Security Conference
June 27- 29, 2013
Kiruna, Sweden
Welcome to the land of the Midnight Sun in Northern Sweden! Welcome to take part in a two-day conference and listen to a gathering of experts who will educate you about how space is used in global warfare. 2013 marks the 21st year of the Global Network Against Weapons & Nuclear Power in Space.
International authors and activists will give lecturers about how the North has developed to be one of the most important places for space warfare, how satellites and drones are used, and inform you about the dangerous National Missile Defence, the Galileo installations, radars and more. You will also be educated about the many NATO war exercises taking place in the North at the largest training field for war, called NEAT, which surrounds the City of Kiruna. Samic people will be present to tell about the impacts of these war exercises on their lives.
We have to be knowledgeable and take action. For that purpose we will have a vigil at Esrange - the world biggest space ground station a couple of miles outside the City of Kiruna.
