On 9th November, 2022 during the Moon Village Association's Workshop and Symposium taking place in Los Angeles, California, leaders of the MVA and of the Space Renaissance International announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding for furthering their shared goals of researching the developments in the space sector.

Among the incoming activities for 2023, the two organizations agreed to work together, organizing webinars and/or conferences, at least, on a number of themes. Deepening the philosophical theme of the Deep Space Effect, based on Frank White's Cosma Hypothesis and enriched by the recent testimony of William Shatner. "An urgent strategical policy for space settlement", a conference to be organized in Europe. Collaboration in Italy, between the MVA Italian session and Space Renaissance Italia (Italian chapter of SRI). Collaboration will also be developed, among some Space Renaissance Academy Committees and MVA Working Groups having similar scopes.
