The NSS Space Policy and Universalization (spUN) Debates offer international university students an opportunity to form a global team to debate space policy with an eye on Universalization – finding solutions through world-wide collaboration and cooperation for the space industry and here on Earth.

2025 will mark the fourth year of the NSS university level debates.  

The 2025 spUN Debate Program is 100% virtual and brings together teams of 3 debaters (university age) from all around the world to investigate and present the pros and cons of a resolution on space policy issues while learning to value different perspectives, cultures, and languages.
