Last year ESPI reached its 20th anniversary since the founding of the Institute in November 2003. On this occasion, we have looked into our archives and noticed that in these 20 years ESPI has welcomed close to 200 people of more than 30 nations, among its staff and global fellows. Recently we have excited to connect with our “ESPI Alumni” in person, in an informal evening gathering during the recent 75th International Astronautical Congress in Milano.
The “ESPI Alumni” are a unique and diverse cohort, currently engaged with a range of stakeholders both within and beyond the space sector. We are thrilled to showcase testimonies from 11 of our former staff, reflecting about their time at ESPI and role ESPI in the European space sector.
