Excellence in space education for a changing world
The International Space University (ISU) is dedicated to the development of
outer space for peacefUl purposes through international and interdiscliplmary ed
ucation and research. ISU works in association with a number of Affiliates (uni
versities, research institutes, consortia ... ) around the world and in partnership with
space agencies and industry.
For young professionals and postgraduate students, ISU offers an annual ten
week Summer Session in different countries and a one-year Master of Space Stud
ies (MSS) program based at its Central Campus in Strasbourg, France. ISU also
offers short courses and workshops to J?rofessionals working m space-related in
dustry, government and academic organIzations.
Independent of specific national and commercial interests, ISU is an ideal fo
rum for discussion of issues relating to space and its applications. The network of
alumni, faculty, guest lecturers, Affiliate representatives and professional contacts
which characterizes the ISU Community makes it possible to bring together lead
ing international specialists in an academic environment conducive to exchange
of views and to the creation of innovative ideas. ISU aims to promote productive
dialogue between space-users and providers. In addition to the Annual Symposium,
ISU supports smaller forum activities, such as workshops and roundtaoles, for
constructive discussions which may help to chart the way forward to the rational
international utilization of space.
