The Space Generation Advisory Council is a non-governmental organization that represents students and young space professionals to international bodies such as the United Nations, member states, and space agencies. It holds permanent observer status with the UN Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space, reflecting its involvement in shaping space policy. Conceived during UNISPACE-III in 1999, SGAC operates from Washington, D.C., with governance that includes regional representation. The organization focuses on delivering pragmatic policy guidance to policymakers, drawing on the perspectives of space enthusiasts aged roughly 18 to 35 from around the world. Its primary audience comprises students and young professionals worldwide who engage with SGAC through programs, events, and collaborative initiatives. In recent activity, SGAC has partnered with organizations like NASA and Euroconsult on scholarships and programs, and has participated in events such as the AMOS Conference in 2025 and the Space Generation Congress Elevator Pitch Competition in Sydney in 2025.
