International Space Medicine Summit III May 14–17, 2009 • James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy • Rice University International Space Medicine Summit III May 14–17, 2009 • James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy • Rice University
About the Event International Space Medicine Summit III The International Space Medicine Summit brings together leading physicians, space biomedical scientists, engineers, astronauts and cosmonauts from space-faring nations for high-level discussions on research needed to prevent and/or mitigate the medical and biomedical challenges associated with long-duration space flight.
The primary aims of the summit are to:
• Foster increased communication, cooperation and collaboration among the world’s experts in space medicine and the space life sciences; • Focus on how lessons learned from Devon Island, the Antarctic and NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations (NEEMO) can help advance successful human space exploration and protect the health and well- being of the flight crews before, during and after long-duration missions in space; and • Enhance life on Earth by applying the resultant advances in human knowledge and technology acquired through living and working in space.
Organizing Partners James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy, Rice University The mission of the Baker Institute is to help bridge the gap between the theory and practice of public policy bydrawing together experts from academia, government, media, business and nongovernmental organizations. By involving policymakers and scholars, as well as students (tomorrow’s policymakers and scholars), the institute seeks to improve the debate on selected public policy issues and to make a difference in the formulation, implementation and evaluation of public policy, both domestic and international. The Baker Institute is an integral part of Rice University, one of the nation’s most distinguished institutions of higher education. The efforts of Baker Institute fellows and affiliated Rice faculty focus on several ongoing research projects, details of which can be found on the institute’s Web site, http://bakerinstitute.org.
Baylor College of Medicine Baylor College of Medicine is committed to being a national leader in advancing human health through the integration of patient care, research, education and community service. The college pursues this mission by promoting patient care of the highest standard, advancing basic and clinical biomedical research, sustaining educational excellence, and fostering public awareness of health and the prevention of disease. Since its founding in 1900, Baylor has grown into an internationally respected medical and research institution. Baylor offers patient care services through several of its Texas Medical Center affiliate hospitals and clinics, with more than 152,000 inpatient visits and 2.2 million outpatient visits annually. The college has more than 70 research and patient-care centers and units. More information can be found on the school’s Web site at http://www.bcm.edu.
