The ESA Academy Academic Scholarship programme aims to facilitate the access to space-related European academic programmes of tertiary education institutions by covering the tuition fees of selected students from ESA Member States, Associate Member States and Canada to complement their academic knowledge and better prepare them for a space-related career.

In this frame, the ESA Education Office is offering 2 scholarships to attend the 2024-2025 edition of the MSc Geoinformatics.
