Academical levels
ESA Internships
The Luxembourg Space Agency actively supports students in the transition from education to full-time employment in the space industry with a dedicated training programme – the Luxembourg National Graduate Trainee Programme (LuxNGT).
Each year, LSA offers a wide range of internships at the European Space Agency for Luxembourgish students in fields including, among others, robotics and mechatronics, artificial intelligence, sustainable space, telecommunication and satellite operation as well as commercialisation.
Summer programmes
Alpbach Summer School
The Alpbach Summer School, which has been staged annually in Austria since 1975, provides in-depth instruction in space science and technology for 60 European Master's, PhD, and post-doctorate graduates, as well as young scientists and engineers.
The Luxembourg Space Agency is the coordinating entity for participation in the Alpbach Sumer School, with support from the Fonds National de la Recherche and the “Groupement luxembourgeois de l'aéronautique et de l'espace (GLAE)”, part of Luxembourg's industry organisation, FEDIL.
Frontier Development Lab (FDL)
The Frontier Development Lab (FDL) programme was created in 2016 through a partnership between NASA, the SETI Institute, and Trillium Technologies, which jointly oversaw its design, implementation, and management until 2024. Luxembourg has supported the programme since its early days, first through the Spaceresources.lu initiative and later via the Luxembourg Space Agency. The goal of the programme is to bring together researchers from a variety of scientific disciplines and pair them with computing experts to jointly develop an applied research challenge during 10-weeks. This approach aims to accelerate the resolution of key questions in critical fields such as planetary science, astronaut health, astrobiology, and space exploration, among others.
