DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Ruvimbo Samanga (Space Generation Advisory Council)\
 nThe 4th industrial revolution is going to be driven by three key ages\, a
 rtificial intelligence\, digitization and most notably the Space age. It i
 s this last field especially that has formed the bulk of my research and h
 ow Space Applications can promote sustainable development on the African c
 ontinent especially though the use of satellite technology. Given rapid te
 chnological advances many fields\, including the law and humanities\, are 
 evolving to keep up with a world that is constantly looking for effective 
 and more efficient ways to conduct business. Take for example the prolifer
 ation of satellite technology for internet coverage to increase access to 
 information to individuals in remote areas such as Rwanda and most recentl
 y Ghana have done. This is all with the broader aim not only to establish 
 Africa’s technological footprint but also to encourage the younger gener
 ation to gain a better appreciation of how important it is to integrate in
 to the global community and often the only way to do so is access to impor
 tant data on the rapidly changing trends in modern sectors. Artificial int
 elligence and digitization are also pertinent to the extent that they coul
 d potentially eliminate the need for human intervention in the coming year
 s\, and the future generation in its teachings must be informed of the con
 sequences and the preemptive steps to be taken to ensure that in a technol
 ogically driven world they will still find relevancy and an opportunity to
  contribute to different sectors and career fields. I hope to give insight
  on space law\, a highly niche area of the law and how it interplay’s wi
 th the other drivers of the 4th industrial revolution and how collectively
  each should be a fundamental part of educational curricula. Now that “r
 obots” have and will replace many of the functions currently conducted b
 y humans how do we stop the next generation of researchers\, students\, in
 dustry experts from becoming obsolete\, lazy or simply failing to engage w
 ith what is a novel but extremely complex development in modern society.\n
