As the global space sector continues to expand beyond research and exploration the EIT Deep Tech Talent Initiative is hosting a members-only interactive webinar dedicated to space-related education, research, and innovation.
About the webinar
The session will highlight the EIT Deep Tech Talent Initiative Pledgers insights into their activities and available collaboration opportunities.
The event will also spotlight the EIT Deep Tech Talent Initiative’s continuing commitment to advancing skills development through innovation partnerships and talent-building initiatives, helping bridge today’s knowledge gaps and empowering tomorrow’s engineers, technicians, and innovators.
Why this matters
The space sector is no longer a niche domain, is a key driver of technological innovation and industrial transformation, and the opportunities for cross-disciplinary growth are immense. Beyond exploration, space-based technologies now underpin critical areas such as digital connectivity, climate monitoring, and advanced manufacturing. Building a strong skills foundation is therefore essential to ensure Europe’s capacity to innovate, compete, and lead in this rapidly expanding domain.
By hosting this webinar, the EIT Deep Tech Talent Initiative aims to encourage collaboration and visibility among the Pledgers.
