Laboratory presentation

IDEST Institute of Law, Space and Technology - Institute of Space and Telecommunications Law
Director: Prof. Philippe ACHILLEAS
The Institut Droit, Espaces et Technologies studies international spaces, the technologies that condition their use and the applications that result from these technologies.
Its field of action covers four spaces: outer space, airspace, atmosphere and cyberspace.
The work is carried out using a multidisciplinary approach (law, economics, information and communication sciences).
The research is structured around two axes: Regulation, Innovation and Development.
It integrates scientific, commercial and military applications. Idest's activities are supported by the Technology and Progress Chair and (as well as) the Scientific Interest Group
(GIS) focusing on space law and innovative sectors created in the framework of a partnership between the University of Paris-Saclay and the CNES.
Idest works in close collaboration with a network of partners from the institutional world, including international organisations and, regulatory authorities and major companies in the space, aeronautics, defence and digital sectors.
