For over forty years, The George Washington University (GW) has been one of the world's leading centers for research, graduate study, and informed discussion related to issues of science, technology, and public policy.

GW established a Space Policy Institute in 1987.  The Institute conducts research on space policy issues, organizes seminars, symposia, and conferences on various topics, and offers graduate courses on space policy.  It operates as a research and policy program of the Center for International Science and Technology Policy of GW's Elliott School of International Affairs, but draws on all University resources that can contribute to its work.

The Space Policy Institute focuses its activities on policy issues related to the space efforts of the United States and cooperative and competitive interactions in space between the United States and other countries.  The Institute provides a setting in which scholars, policy analysts, practitioners, and students can work together to examine and evaluate options for the future in space.  It is an affiliate of the International Space University and The Aerospace Corporation.  The Space Policy Institute is directed by Dr. John M. Logsdon.

The Space Policy Institute receives substantial financial support from The George Washington University.  In addition, the Institute has received funding from a number of individual, corporate, foundation, and government sources.
