Uzbekistan set to host International Astronautical Congress in 2028
In 2028, Samarkand will host the International Astronautical Congress (IAC), one of the world’s largest events devoted to space exploration, UzA reports.
The city will welcome representatives of space agencies, scientists, engineers, and experts from around the world to discuss the future of space technologies and international cooperation.
Holding the event in Uzbekistan creates new opportunities to strengthen international scientific and technological ties and advance the country’s position in space research.
The next congress will be held in Poznań, Poland, in 2027, with Geneva, Switzerland, hosting the event in 2029, following Samarkand.
