Conference opportunities for sponsored students

ESA offers European university students the opportunity to participate in high-level conferences and workshops in space-related fields around the world. The first opportunities of 2013 have now been posted here.

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.
