Aerospace law
Course objectives
1. Knowledge and understanding: at the end of the course, the student will have full awareness of the main institutions of space law, how they have been established and are evolving, and the perspectives that the various actors in the space sector must consider regarding the exploration, exploitation, and use of outer space. 2. Applying knowledge and understanding: based on the knowledge acquired during the course, the student will be able to develop appropriate and coherent legal arguments regarding the general principles of space law. 3. Making judgments: the expected outcome of the course is that the student will be able to appreciate the complexity of the issues posed by early space legislation (Corpus Iuris Spatialis), by soft law instruments (directives and recommendations from UN specialized bodies and other actors in the aerospace sector), by national laws, multilateral agreements, and contractual instruments, with awareness and critical insight. 4. Communication skills: through group exercises, discussions, and moments of debate with the class, the student will acquire the ability to communicate and present the legal competences gained in a reasoned manner, and to develop independent judgment on the most controversial issues addressed during the course. 5. Learning skills: at the end of the course, the student is expected to be able to independently develop and deepen the topics covered, both in professional contexts and in potential research activities in the aerospace sector.
