Masters Program - The ISU Master of Science (M.Sc.) programs are designed for students looking for the competitive edge that will help them obtain a career in the space sector, professionals interested in making a career move into or within the space sector, and researchers wishing to broaden their knowledge or make the move from academic life into the space industry.


Space Odyssey Institute - The Space Odyssey Institute is based on the premise that leadership requires constant renewal. Vision of the future, understanding of current opportunities, and of the rich diversity of talent available to an increasingly international space sector requires leaders to explore new directions and interact with their peers. Unfortunately the burdens of responsibility often work to isolate leadership, rather than to renew it. The Space Odyssey Institute focuses on a different issue of emerging importance each year, and provides professional renewal for its participants while increasing the space sector’s understanding of important new trends.


Space Studies Program - (June 30 - August 29, 2008, Location: Barcelona, Spain) During the SSP, students will be trained in various space-related disciplines and interact using their personal skills and background. Workshops in medicine, robotics, communication, astrophysics, telecommunication and others are organized.
More than 110 students from all over the world are expected participate in this SSP. An international cadre of distinguished professors will teach the classes. The curriculum covers the major space-related fields, both technical and non-technical, and ranges from engineering, physical sciences and satellite applications to life sciences, policy, management and humanities.


Executive Space Course - (April 20 - 24, 2009, Location: Strasbourg, Alsace, N.E. France) The Executive Space Course examines current space-related activities and the technology, science, business and policies upon which each phase of the program or mission is based.

Space Symposium - (Feb. 18-20, 2009, Location: Strasbourg, Alsace, N.E. France) - During each academic year, ISU organizes a three-day symposium as an interdisciplinary, international forum to help both the users and the providers of space-related systems move forward from the discussion of problems to the formulation of innovative solutions.
