How to Incorporate Astrobiology into University Education Curricula for Space Science and Technology? The Regional Centres for Space Science and Technology Education, affiliated to the United Nations

Sharafat Gadimova and Hans J. Haubold

Based on resolutions of the United Nations General Assembly, Regional Centres for Space Science and Technology Education were established in India, Morocco, Nigeria, Brazil/Mexico, and Jordan. Simultaneously, education curricula were developed for the core disciplines of remote sensing, satellite communications, satellite meteorology, space and atmospheric science, and global navigation satellite systems. This paper provides a brief summary on the status of the operation of the regional centres with a view to continue utilizing them as information centres of the International Committee on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (ICG). Space Weather and Astrobiology are specific fields that can be incorporated into the already existing education curricula.
