The International Congress of COSPAR has been described informally as "space Olympics" and is organized in a different continent every two years. At the Congress of Athens are expected to join 3,000-4,000 acclaimed space scientists from universities and research Centre around the world and representatives of major international space agencies. Dynamic present will give larger companies products space technology with their exhibit booths.

Our country's candidacy for the 2022 was prepared by the space research and Technology Office of the Academy of Athens and actively supported by many public and private entities, the municipality of Athens, Ministries, almost all Universities and research institutes of the country, while the support of Greek scientists, with participation of several in Local Organizing Committee, was equally enthusiastic and emotive. The withdrawal of the 2022 is a national COSPAR success, as this is a multi-layered challenge for the country and a great opportunity to demonstrate internationally that Greece has the infrastructure and the human scientists in order to star in space Research and Technology.

The International Committee on space research (COSPAR) was founded in 1958, shortly after the start of the space age. The objectives are to promote international space research and technology and peaceful exploration of space. Is a forum for dialogue and cooperation in the world away from political aspirations, working closely with the United Nations and other global organizations. The Greece is member of COSPAR almost from its inception, through the National Commission for space research of the Academy of Athens.

The Local Organizing Committee warmly thanks all stakeholders who supported the candidacy of Athens and in particular composer Ms.. Evanthia Reboutsika for the courtesy of the music video's candidacy, as well as the Ms. Adriana Paraskevopoulou, journalist of ERT, for the decisive contribution to the implementation of.
