Presentations can be about any aspect or issue related to "Space: Planetary

potential authors might like to consider submitting abstracts for papers
addressing such topics as:

- the impact of space exploration on the arts and vice versa
- the impact of space science on the environmental consciousness
- the role of arts in expressing planetary consciousness
- the ethical aspects of space exploration and planetary responsibility
- the impact of space exploration on philosophy and vice versa
- synergies between the arts, environmental and space communities 
- the interaction between space, arts and the public 
- using the arts to explore and comprehend space 

Authors need not, of course, limit themselves to these topics.
