Description
The Open University hosted Leslie Budd’s inaugural lecture on 10 May 2022. In his lecture, Leslie Budd, Professor of Regional Economy in the Department of Public Leadership and Social Enterprise ...(PuLSE) at The Open University Business School explored the recent increase in public interest in space exploration and the future of using urban and regional economics for assessing its impact. He pointed out how the recent increase in public interest in space exploration has both supported and questioned the value of this important branch of scientific discovery and its societal applications. Examples include the NASA Mars Preservation Rover landing and in the last 20 years the European Space Agency (ESA) has contributed significant funding to the International Space Station (ISS), leveraging advances in space science whose multi-disciplinary impacts have led to the identification, evaluation and potential measurement of a wide range of socioeconomic benefits. Until recently, the contribution of these benefits to economy and society has tended to be overlooked.
