Contributing to a stronger, better connected, and more efficient education ecosystem in Europe.

“The future of the European space sector and its capacity to innovate strongly relies on an education ecosystem able to nurture and retain talent and a skilled workforce.” Understanding this, Education remains a cornerstone of the European Space Policy Institute’s (ESPI) mission, reinforced in our strategic agenda as defined in “ESPI2040: Space for Prosperity, Peace and Future Generations“.
Unlocking the full spectrum of European space capabilities requires the adaptation of the space education system to the rapidly changing needs of the space sector and its integration into other sectors and policies.
It requires experts across fields, such as engineers and scientists, but also increasingly experts in economics, law, social and political sciences, and strategists with a holistic view.
It requires the seamless integration of the space sector into schooling and academia, to attract and develop European and global talent early on.
It requires the creation of a strong European space and entrepreneurial culture, including and beyond the inspiring image of astronaut as a profession, acting as a catalyst for space education.
ESPI addresses these challenges and contributes to a stronger, better connected, and more efficient education ecosystem in Europe through three lines of activities.
