ESA Academy

ESA Academy is ESA's overarching educational programme for university students from ESA Member States, Canada 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. 
ESA Academy is run in close collaboration with European universities and is designed to complement academic education. Its objective is to enhance the students' educational experience and gain both practical and theoretical know-how and expertise in various disciplines, ranging from space sciences to engineering, space medicine, spacecraft operations, project and risk management, product and quality assurance, standardisation and much more.
The ESA Academy activities are grouped under two interconnected pillars of activity:  

  • Training and Learning Programme ; offering an entirely new set of training courses and learning opportunities regarding space engineering, space sciences, space medicine, space law, spacecraft operations and communication, project and risk management, product & quality insurance, standardisation, space debris, technology transfer and innovation, mission planning...
