Introduction

The Moon Village Association (MVA), created in 2017, is a non-governmental organization
(NGO) based in Vienna, Austria. The goal of the MVA is the creation of an informal global forum for
governments, industry, academia, and the public interested in the Moon Village vision – a community
fostering permanent human expansion to Earth’s Moon. It comprises more than 600 participants in
MVA activities and 33 institutional members from more than 60 countries, representing a diverse array
of technical, scientific, cultural, and interdisciplinary fields. More information regarding the MVA may
be found at: (https://moonvillageassociation.org). Each year, the Moon Village Association (MVA)
organizes a major international event — a workshop and symposium (WS&S) at which global leaders
in various fields relevant to humanity’s permanent expansion to Earth’s Moon gather to share progress,
new ideas, and relevant information. This year, the MVA’s 2024 WS&S is being organized in
Luxembourg, during December 2-3, 2024, at the European Convention Center Luxembourg.
