We cooperate with
our trusted partners globally
Intro
The Karman Project is committed to expanding its cooperation with partner organisations in which every party can contribute to the co-design of international initiatives, challenges and opportunities which can positively impact space and adjacent industries. Cooperation is central to our mission, and pursuant to this spirit, we believe that fostering partnerships is key for a better future.
Partner Network
The Karman Project works with a diverse network of partners from different countries and disciplines, and as each of our respective communities grow, so to do our opportunities for cooperation. We are proud to partner with various organisations, ranging from non-governmental organisations to the private sector, civil society and universities.
How We Collaborate
We work with two main categories of partners: Empowerment Partners and Fellowship Partners. Our various Empowerment Partners share in our mission and vision, collaborating on various projects and strategic initiatives to bring value to our respective communities. Fellowship Partners work with the Karman Project to help us in reaching potential applicants from every sector, industry and corner of the globe - supporting our founding principles of cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
