Project description
Inspiring young people to embark on space careers
The rise of the European space industry provides new career opportunities for young people. The EU-funded spaceEU project will implement an exciting space outreach and education programme to motivate and encourage young people to embark on space-related careers. The project will also attract students towards education paths in the STEAM fields. It envisages inspiring students and helping them to develop a sense of European and global citizenship, as well as creating long-term partnerships between people from diverse cultural backgrounds inside and outside Europe. spaceEU will pave the ground for the probable future establishment of a Knowledge and Innovation Community in the field of space.
