London, U.K. – October 9, 2025
BRIAN GREENE, CO-FOUNDER AND CHAIRMAN OF THE WORLD SCIENCE FESTIVAL TO HOST INAUGURAL GLOBAL SPACE AWARDS
The Global Space Awards (GSA), the first international event dedicated to celebrating the achievements defining today's Golden Era of Space, proudly announces that world-renowned physicist and bestselling author Professor Brian Greene will host the inaugural ceremony.
The event will take place at The Natural History Museum, London and will feature an awards ceremony and black-tie gala dinner, honoring the innovators, investors, and organizations shaping the future of space—from lunar bases and in-orbit manufacturing to sustainable space economies that benefit life on Earth today.
Sanjeev Gordhan of the Global Space Awards CIC states, "We're thrilled to have Brian playing such a key role in our very first Global Space Awards. He is one of the most prominent science communicators of the 21st century with a unique talent for making complex scientific ideas accessible and engaging. With his rare combination of cutting-edge theoretical expertise and compelling storytelling, he's the ideal host to bridge the gap between advanced science and public understanding—making him a perfect fit for this landmark event."
Greene has made groundbreaking discoveries in mathematical physics and superstring theory, including the co-discovery of mirror symmetry and the discovery of spatial topology change. He is known for his clarity, enthusiasm, and thoughtful approach to the philosophical implications of science, often weaving together science and human meaning to show how cosmic questions intersect with our personal lives and existential concerns.
