This panel explores the critical challenge of preparing the next generation of space professional, including military, civilian, and commercia personnel, for a future defined by innovation, complexity, and strategic competition. Experts from defence, across government, academia, and industry will discuss emerging training methodologies, the integration of space education into broader defence curricula, and the role of simulation, wargaming, and cross-sector collaboration in building a resilient and agile workforce. Join us to examine how we can cultivate the skills, mindsets, and partnerships needed to ensure mission success in the contested and congested space environment of tomorrow.
