INTERNATIONAL SPACE MEDICINE SUMMIT 2010 May 20–23, 2010 • James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy • Rice University INTERNATIONAL SPACE MEDICINE SUMMIT 2010 May 20–23, 2010 • James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy • Rice University About the Event International Space Medicine Summit 2010 The International Space Medicine Summit (ISMS) 2010 brings together leading physicians and space biomedical scientists 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. Building on the recommendations of the first three summits, the goal of ISMS 2010 is to stimulate and facilitate multinational collaborations on how best to maximize the utilization of the International Space Station (ISS) for research to ensure the well-being of astronauts and cosmonauts on future expeditions. In accordance with the unanimous consensus reached by the multinational participants in last year’s summit, ISMS 2010 will work to identify and focus on high-priority research projects, both space-based and ground-based, that require international collaboration in order to succeed. ISMS 2010 is committed to: • Fostering increased communication and cooperation; • Focusing on lessons learned from long-duration human space flight and analog environments such as Devon Island, the Antarctic, NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations (NEEMO), and the multinational, 105-day ground-based simulation study; and • Research efforts to 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 by drawing 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 website, 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 website, http://www.bcm.edu.
