To accomplish this ambitious goal Europe needs young people to dedicate their careers to science, technology and other Space related professions.
In the framework of the 4ESO+empresa, the CESAR Team at the European Space Astronomy Centre (ESAC) offers students from schools from the Madrid Region the possibility to join scientists and engineers during three days to get an insight into their daily work. Each school can propose up to x students. Total number of students is yy.
