ESA Academy
ESA Academy is the European Space Agency’s (ESA’s) overarching educational programme for university students from ESA Member States, Canada, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia and Slovenia.
Through a tailored transfer of space know-how and interaction with space professionals, ESA Academy takes students through a learning path that enriches their academic education. As a result, students can enhance their skills, boost their motivation and ambitions, become acquainted with the standard professional practices applied nowadays in the space sector, and be better prepared for the labour market.
ESA Academy is not only open to students already involved in space-related studies in the science and engineering fields. It is also meant for science and engineering students who did not choose space as their specialty, to show how space facilities can open a range of new research possibilities and applications, thus opening a new perspective on the learning of space disciplines.
Projects
A continuing programme that enables university students to gain first-hand, end-to-end experience of space-related projects.
