Analysis of Skills, Training, Research and Innovation Opportunities in Space

- Towards a skilled Europe for Space Innovation

The advancement of the EU space sector is highly dependent on the availability of high educational standards, skilled professionals, and the ability for these professionals to upgrade and update their skills.

The ASTRAIOS project will foster innovation, increase EU competitiveness in the space sector and improve the dynamics of the space entrepreneurships ecosystems.

To achieve this, the ASTRAIOS team will provide an exhaustive view and understanding of the current and future Space curricula and courses offered in the EU-27. The project will also describe the need from the European Space industry in the next 10-15 years and identify actionable ways towards a better alignment between the offered educational programs and the skills required by the future European space industry

Specifically, the main objectives of ASTRAIOS are to:

Provide an exhaustive view and understanding of the current and future offer of Space curricula and courses in the EU-27
Characterize the demand from the European Space industry
Identify actionable ways forward towards a better alignment between the European space sector’s curricula and qualification capabilities and the skills required by the future EU space sector to foster innovation and increase EU competitiveness.
