Report on the Results:  REGIONAL SCIENCE CENTRE PATAN Gujarat Council On Science and Technology Department of Science & Technology, Govt. of Gujarat Report on the World Space Week Celebration (4th to 10th October 2022) Introduction: World Space Week is celebrated every year from October 4 to 10 in nearly 100 countries across the globe. World Space Week is the largest space event to celebrate the benefits of science and technology to human society. It is being celebrated since 1999. There are many benefits the human race receives from space and thus it is important to educate everyone about them. Organizations such as space agencies, science centres, schools, planetarium, museums, and astronomy clubs coordinate space outreach events in various parts of the world. The 2022 World Space Week theme, “Space and Sustainability” allows World Space Week to address sustainability from two angles: (1) how space benefits society and contributes to sustainable development on Earth and (2) what are the challenges ahead of us to keep space activities and the space environment safe and sustainable.
