The ESA Academy Case Studies Programme invites student teams, enrolled in a tertiary education institution in an ESA Member State or Associate Member, to work on ESA-originated topics over a period of 2 to 6 months, with light mentoring from ESA experts. ESA Academy Case Studies can be integrated by professors into a course or project, or by student associations into a structured student activity or project.

The programme aims to create structured, education-first learning opportunities for STEM and non-STEM students that strengthen their skills, while also bringing innovative student perspectives to ESA with a clear scope and timeline.
