The European Space Agency is in close contact with our association, support
is not only given financially. ESA has been present on many international
events so far and gives the members the opportunity to keep in touch with
recent developments in the space sector. In 2006, ESA agreed to be hosting
company of one of the biggest and most important EUROAVIA events, the
Design Workshop. It gave the opportunity of having a three week insight
in the company to 25 students during the development of an engineering
project. By the end of the event the participants presented their design
concepts for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) for Mars.
The Office for Education Project Outreach Activities objectives consist
in a significant outreach action to a large number young Europeans to
motivate them to enhance their literacy in science and technology in general,
and in space in particular. In addition, to the general outreach and broad
increase of the awareness of space, special efforts are done stimulating
highly talented youngsters to dedicate their career to space favouring
a talented workforce for the 21st century.
