Recently, new trends of major space activities are emerging such as back to the moon exploration and global environmental preservation, which are particularly requesting international cooperation in many ways. This paper presents current educational activities at this very unique university, and analyzes how ISU can contribute to promote international cooperation in these important space activities, particularly focusing on relationship to Japan.

Unfortunately, at a world scale, in particular, Sub-Saharan African countries are still lagging behind in terms of education, mainly due to not only financial but also sociocultural reasons. The Millennium Development Goals initiated by the United Nations had as one of its main goals to ensure that all children would be able to benefit from education by 2015. Although major progress was made, this goal was not achieved in Africa and is now replaced by another target for 2030. Recently, the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has unfortunately also delayed progress due to closed schools and lack of informatics infrastructure in some countries, in particular in Africa. A secondary issue is the lack of solid Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education and interest. Here, space can play a paramount role, not as a purpose to create more space engineers and scientists, but also to foster the interest in STEM via space examples and, as such, encourage to start tertiarycycle studies in engineering or science. Several initiatives will be discussed in this article on how space education could be able to support the technological development in Sub-Saharan Africa.

These contributions are illustrated by numerous works produced by famous space pioneers at the end of their careers. The link between science and philosophy is well acknowledged, but the two disciplines suffered a schism some 350 years ago. Now one could ask the question of whether the time has not come to merge both disciplines again. This precise theme can be found in many works and papers written by space scientists. In attempting to create a better understanding of the relation between space and philosophy, it is worthwhile to consider some characteristics of the space workforce. Comparisons have been made between this workforce and so-called ''corporate Ronins''-independent and unconventional thinkers who are attracted by the challenging environment offered by space activities. These individuals' presence in the space workforce could therefore be a viable explanation for the philosophical dimension associated with space activities. After his historical spaceflight, Yuri Gagarin wrote in 1962 on a picture: When I circled the Earth in my space capsule, I saw how beautiful our planet in reality is. People from the planet Earth, I hope together we will manage to preserve or augment this indescribable beauty, but in any case never to destroy it. 1 Certainly, we have to put such a message-which was probably orchestrated-in its correct historical context.

In the framework of the new space economy, the role of incubators has changed over the past decade with a larger overlap between incubator and accelerator functions. Whereas this transition took earlier place in United States, the same trend is now also obvious in Europe. This article attempts to describe the present situation in Europe, at the same time clarifying the different types of incubators. As a basis of this article, European studies on incubators are described and analyzed. In a second step, a comparison is made between European and more result-oriented U.S. publications on the performance of incubators. To validate a potential need, a survey was made on the desire to establish such new space-oriented incubator in the environment of the International Space University at its central campus in France. The results of this survey are reported in this article.
