Alumni Meeting - 24 July 2006

Scope of the meeting

This gives former trainees the opportunity to explain in a presentation what they are doing now and see what we are currently doing at ESAC regarding training, gives the new trainees some ideas of what one can do after the training, and allows everyone to do some networking and have a small party.

Since 2004 a trainee project has been carried out at ESAC where young scientists participate in a space project scientifically operated from the European Space Astronomy Centre (ESAC). Trainees from various universities and the ESA Young Graduate Trainee Programme are involved.

The trainees as of now have been from the following universities:

  • University Complutense de Madrid (Spain)
  • University of Bonn (Germany)
  • University of Tuebingen (Germany)
  • University of Warwick (England)

In 2006 we will have in addition students from the following places:

  • University Complutense de Madrid (Spain)
  • Technical University of Aachen (Germany)
  • Institute of Technology, Linköping, Sweden
