Founded in 2018, the Space Court Foundation (SCF) is an international space law and policy research and educational organisation headquartered in the Netherlands.
Through our global internship program, research partnerships, and community media we foster greater understanding, awareness, and interest in the field of space law.
SCF produces original research and comprehensive educational materials covering national and international space law.Â
The Space Court Law Library is a one-stop shop for primary and secondary source materials related to space law in all the United Nations COPUOS countries.
Our work fosters academic discourse and directly informs today’s and tomorrow’s decision makers.
We publish a peer-reviewed and highly regarded academic journal, the SCF Student Space Law Journal, biannually. Our renowned and diverse Global Internship Program has supported over 120 interns from 56 universities in 28 countries on 6 continents.
We engage in public grant consortia, institutional partnerships, and private collaborations to fund research, educate students, and communicate the importance of space law; maintaining our humanity as we venture farther from Earth.
Our marquee research products include:
The Big Books of National Space Law
and historical projects like the Andrew G. Haley Project.
