Frontiers Beyond Borders: India–U.S. Space Cooperation in the 21st Century

An International Conference jointly organized by The India Center, University of Central Florida, and the Observer Research Foundation America.

India and the United States are entering a new and consequential phase in their science and technology partnership. What began primarily as government-to-government scientific cooperation has evolved into a multidimensional relationship encompassing advanced research, critical and emerging technologies, commercial enterprise, human spaceflight, education, and national security.

Against this backdrop, Frontiers Beyond Borders will bring together leading voices from government, industry, academia, and the policy community in India and the United States to take stock of where the bilateral space partnership stands and develop a forward agenda for the years ahead. Hosted at the University of Central Florida, this public conference will examine cooperation across science and technology, economics and business, startups and technology incubation, space education and academic partnerships, geopolitics and foreign policy, and the strategic dimensions of space. It is designed as a genuinely bilateral and interdisciplinary conversation focused not simply on parallel national experiences, but on identifying new opportunities for cooperation.
