Program Description:

The space sector is an important component of modern life, in terms of economic, social, technological and scientific developments. The future of the sector and of its manifold applications which sustain the prosperity of our society requires the formation of highly skilled experts with a broad interdisciplinary perspective. The development of innovative technologies is fostered by an intense symbiosis between technological sectors and the challenges set by fundamental research in exact and biomedical sciences. The economic and social valorisation of space technologies requires an efficient relationship between project developers and the economic sector. The large scale of space projects imposes important constraints on their management. The international character of the space sector and of its broad applications, including the relevance of space for security and defence, implies a need for European and international legal and political measures.

International, national and regional institutions and industries are involved through guest lecturers and through their participation in the description and supervision of Master’s thesis projects.
