Education at IART

Space workshops and seminars

We bring space into classrooms, lecture halls, companies and public institutions: from a first introduction with no prior knowledge to in-depth expert seminars.

Space from a technical and a social perspective

Our workshops and seminars cover space technology and what space means for our society. Because engineers and social scientists work under one roof at IART, we can connect both: how a satellite works and why countries invest in space. We combine scientific fundamentals with practical examples and explain even complex topics in a way that sticks.
