“A great introduction to space, in a stimulating international environment allowing to meet interesting professional people”
The International Space University (ISU), the world’s leading university dedicated to the interdisciplinary study of space, is offering its acclaimed one-week Executive Space Course.
The Executive Space Course looks at current space and space-related activities and explains the technology, science, business and policies upon which each phase of a space program or mission is based.
Taught from an international perspective, the course allows participants to gain an understanding of the differences as well as the common approaches to space strategy across the globe. The course explains core engineering and technical concepts in a simple, understandable manner, allowing participants to develop their knowledge of space-related activities and terminology.
The Course is intended for two broad categories of professionals, those working in the space sector but who do not have a broad space background (e.g., those with expertise in finance, law, marketing, human resources, etc. or even engineering and science) or those currently working outside the space sector but who have an interest in developing a better understanding of it (e.g., entrepreneurs, government employees and politicians, etc.).
The course, taught in English, aims to:
☞ Provide a neutral and global overview of space and space related subjects
☞ Explain core engineering and technical concepts in a simple manner
☞ Deliver a greater understanding of the challenges and opportunities of the space sector
☞ Give an insight into the traditional space markets (telecom, navigation, earth observation…) as well as new space economy.
Many people think you need to be an engineer or a scientist to be a part of the space sector. This is not the case and the International Space University has a successful record of enabling access for people of all vocations.
This intense course exposes participants to the interdisciplinary, international and intercultural learning environment of the International Space University. The course is conducted through lectures and experiential learning with workshops and case studies. A challenging project encapsulating all major aspects learned during the week and applying concurrent engineering to a modern telecommunications satellite ends the week.
Participants will leave the course with knowledge and skills enabling them to understand and communicate more effectively with their colleagues in other disciplines.
They will develop their comprehension and expertise of space related activities and terminology.
☞ Help staff get a clearer picture of how the global space sector is structured
☞ Stay a step ahead and keep abreast of the latest space developments
☞ Generate business opportunities via other participants
☞ Ensure smooth exchanges and communication on space issues within the company.observation…) as well as new space economy.
