Arthur C. Clarke Lectures

Each year (or every other year) the Arthur C. Clarke Foundation sponsors a lecture that explores fundamental concepts and ideas that global satellite communications contributes to world peace, global cooperation, improved health and education, and social evolution. These "industry milestone" lectures are delivered in conjunction with the award of the Sir Arthur C. Clarke Prizes. The Arthur C. Clarke Foundation of the United States (ACCFUS) is the Sponsoring Organization for the Sir Arthur C. Clarke Awards. See the text of these lectures below:
