                          Call for Papers

                          The International Program Committee (IPC) of the 6th Global Moon Village Association Workshop & Symposium (MVA WS&S 2022) is pleased to invite all interested authors to participate in its 2½-day hybrid event dedicated to the sustainable extension of human presence to Earth’s Moon.

                          The program will comprise several important elements, including discussions of the foundational steps during the next two decades necessary to establishing permanent human presence and activity on the Moon. There will be specific invited topics, of course; however, we wish to invite multi-disciplinary contributions on building blocks for the future development of the Moon as a sustainable ecosystem based on the integration of diverse capabilities and infrastructures and aiming to generate near-zero waste from those activities.
