SpaceEU

spaceEU was an outreach and education project on outer space, intending to spark young people’s interest in STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and technology) and encourage them to consider careers in space exploration. The project inspired young people, broadened their horizons, strengthened their sense of responsibility as European and global citizens, and promoted long-term partnerships between people from different countries and cultures.

Young people, in particular girls and children in disadvantaged communities, were introduced to the possibilities of space exploration. The project activities brought hidden talent to light, increased diversity in space exploration, and maximized the strength and potential of European space exploration.
