ESA training course for undergraduate students

The European Space Agency (ESA) is offering a training course for undergraduate students from ESA Member States and Collaborating States from 25 to 29 August at the European Space Technology and Research Centre (ESTEC) in Noordwijk, the Netherlands.

The workshop, entitled 'System engineering and technology for space missions' is intended to provide participating students with a general overview and better understanding of ESA activities in the area of end-to-end mission development.

Special emphasis will be placed on mission design, system engineering and technology, in order to enhance the formal technical education of the participants and facilitate their understanding of how the space sector operates.

Any interested university students aged 18 to 28 may apply, but the workshop is primarily targeted at students who have completed one to three years of their first degree. It will be particularly suitable for those who are interested in joining ESA hands-on projects in future (such as ESEO, ESMO, GENSO, etc.) or who are considering pursuing a career in the space industry.
