PSSI was the first public policy group in the Czech Republic – and one of the first in the region – to launch an intensive educational initiative to train future generations of national security-minded experts in the Czech Republic and the region.

Space infrastructure is essential for the proper functioning of European and U.S. societies, economies, and security architectures.
