1. Founding of ISU
In 1985, Peter Diamandis, Todd Hawley and Robert D Richards created the Space Generation Foundation. Among the ideas that came from the SGF was that of an international space university (another was the SGAC) The ISU concept was supported by such people as UR Rao, Harrison Schmitt, Gerard ONeill and Arthur C Clarke. The ISU concept was presented at the 1986 AAS meeting where it found considerable support.

As a result, in 1987, a three-day Founding Conference was convened at MIT from 10-12 April.
ISU was established as a 501(c)3 nonprofit educational organization in Massachusetts, USA. In 1988, with the support of the major space agencies. the first ISU Summer Session Program (SSP, now Space Studies Program) took place at MIT.

Intercultural - improved intercultural sensitivity towards the different objectives of, and approaches to, problem solving pursued by colleagues, counterparts and competitors throughout the world. ISU students, faculty and visiting lecturers are drawn from a broad range of backgrounds, providing a rich environment in which to implement this 3Is educational philosophy
2. ISU Organisation
ISU has:
Chancellor Board of Advisors Board of Trustees President supported by Executive, including the Dean Academic Council
Responsible for ensuring the academic quality of ISU's teaching and research activities.
ISUs programs are delivered by ISUs global faculty and College of Teachers. These are:
Nine Resident Faculty based at the central campus in Strasbourg. Approximately 70 other ISU faculty around the world, plus adjunct and associate faculty. A wide range of guest lecturers.

Date
In line with the vision of the Eurisy founder, the Award is given every two years to a person or an organisation which has demonstrated its dedication in the field of promoting space and its benefits to society. ISU has not only created a strong basis of space professionals via its programs, but also has ensured that these space professionals were aware of the ethical and cultural aspects inherent to space applications.

ArduSat
Four MSc12 students founded Nanosatisfi to provide:
affordable, open access to space engaging, hands-on education in STEM using nanosatellites.
ArduSat is their pilot satellite for their Your Experiment in Space (YES) initiative. Anyone will be able to:
design, write, and run their own space-based experiments, steer the onboard cameras to take pictures on-demand, and broadcast personalized messages back to Earth.
LiftPort
An SSP alumnus as set up LiftPort to pursue R&D for space tether systems. The first vstage is to develop a system capable of climbing a 2-km ribbon. Also crowdsourced in excess of $100,000.
