Conference opportunities for sponsored students
ESA offers European students the opportunity to attend high-level space related conferences and workshops around the world. Opportunities are available across a wide range of science and engineering fields. The full list of conferences for 2013 has now been posted.
ESA Education will provide sponsorship to a select few students to support their participation in these conferences. The selection is competitive and clear priority will be given to students whose abstracts have been accepted by the conference organisers and who have not been sponsored by ESA before.
