COSPAR

The Principles that COSPAR adheres to in pursuit of its Mission are:

•    COSPAR promotes scientific research in space at an international level, with emphasis on the exchange of results, information, and opinions, and provides a forum, open to all scientists.

•    COSPAR endeavors to ensure that a vibrant international space research effort can be conducted without impediment from geopolitical tensions or differences.

•    COSPAR encourages meaningful roles in all activities for younger scientists, who are the future of international space research.

•    Turkey got involved in this organization through membership of TUBITAK in 1996. By means of this membership, Turkey has been able to follow scientific research related to space, participate in international activities, be represented in platforms that are open to scientists, get students to benefit from the educational opportunities, and be one of the decision-makers through participation in subcommittee and commissions of the organization.
