Primary and Secondary Education
European Space Education Resource Office (ESERO)
Through the ESERO project, the European Space Agency (ESA) contributes to the primary and secondary education community in Europe, with the aim of arousing and sustaining interest in science and technology among young Europeans
ESERO Belgium brings together a wide network of educational partners from all over Belgium who work together to promote the use of the space context in STEM- courses. ESERO offers an annual series of training sessions for primary and secondary school teachers, classroom projects, extracurricular activities, as well as means to support the curriculum in an innovative way. ESER Belgium is a joint initiative by ESA and the Federal Science Policy.

Belgian National Trainee Programme by ESA
Are you fascinated by space and want to carry out genuinely cutting-edge research? With the Belgian National Trainee Programme, or NTP, we give you the opportunity to work on current space projects at the European Space Agency (ESA). Satellite operations, robotics, manned and unmanned spaceflight, Earth observation and mission analysis are just some of the exciting areas of work in which our trainees have taken on demanding tasks.
ESA Academy
The ESA Academy is ESA's overarching training programme for university students from ESA member states. It provides 'hands on' space projects as well as training and education programs. More information about the projects and programmes can be found on the website of the ESA Academy.
