Be a Star in ESA’s Universe
Roadshow
The Swiss Space Center’s objective as organiser of the “Be a Star in ESA’s Universe” roadshow is to promote career opportunities at ESA and in the local space sector by presenting ESA’s, local space industries’ and academic activities to young professionals as well as to students from Swiss universities, federal institutes, universities of applied sciences.
One of the backgrounds for initiating the roadshow is that over the coming years, ESA is expecting to recruit a number of young professionals in the areas of:
· Management
· Engineering
· Science
· Management support
· Administrative and technical services

PAST EDITIONS
2020
As the current space ecosystem is evolving rapidly and facing new stakes and challenges, various and unexpected study fields are now vital to ensure the continuity of innovative and cutting-edge technologies as well as advanced project management. Switzerland and ESA need new talents to join them on the path towards state-of-the-art space research and operations. “Be a Star in ESA’s Universe” is a unique opportunity for professionals, experts and students to exchange and network.
This fall, the event will take place online in a new format. Instead of a roadshow and panel discussions in several Swiss universities, five online live events will tackle fields of study playing a key role in the current space ecosystem:
- Cybersecurity
- Space Law
- Life Support Systems
- Robotics and Photonics
- Science missions: Exoplanets
These events will be livestreamed on our YouTube channel and will include a Q&A session to foster interaction between the speakers and the public.
