With great regret we had to cancel the 21st SPACE AGM & Conference from 21 to 24 April in Budapest. Natural forces have prevented a pan-European conference.

The Budapest conference programme will be retained for the Kavala Autumn Meeting (6 -9 October 2010).

An Extraordinary General Assembly will be called in Budapest before the Summer period.
