Joint European Master in Space Science and Technology

[1] The main objective of the Course is to combine the great diversity of space expertise at multiple European universities to a common platform of competence within the guidelines of the Bologna process.

This framework allows EU students to do part of their thesis or project work at one of the following partner universities : An alumni programme is currently still in the planning stages.

The consortium also organizes outreach activities and events such as the Planetary rover symposium, held in 2009 at the Espoo campus at the Aalto University in Finland, where leading space robotics scientists gave presentations on history, status and technologies of planetary robotics.

Invited guest speakers included Mr. Alexei Bogatchev (Russia), Mr. Gianfranco Visentin (ESA), Dr. Richard Volpe (JPL), and Dr. Juha Röning (University of Oulu).

Their first project was flown on a stratospheric research balloon in the US and in 2009 they participated in the BEXUS campaign of the European Space Agency.
