Defense & Space - Beijing, Beijing, China
The China Institute of Space Law (CISL) was founded in 1992 by five institutional members, which include China's former Ministry of Aerospace Industry, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,the former Commission of Science and Technology, the former Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense (COSTIND), and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. CISL is now co-sponsored by China National Space Administration (CNSA) and China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC), with due support from other founding members and regular members.CISL has been serving China's space law professionals through solid capacity building, and has organised nationwide studies in space law/policy. CISL's academic activities have not only provided considerable consultancy support for China's space diplomacy, space legislation and space industry development, but also have greatly helped the multi-disciplinary integration process in bridging the gap between space law academia and space industry community.
