Under the Africa–EU Space Partnership Programme (AESPP), a flagship initiative of the Global Gateway funded by the @EU_Commission, @ESA and its Member States are advancing the development of space-based services, capacity-building, and research across Africa.
Building on more than three decades of cooperation between ESA and Africa, these joint training initiatives mark an important step forward in fostering research, innovation, and technology transfer. Most importantly, they place people at the heart of progress by investing in skills, knowledge, and partnerships that will shape the future of space exploration.

🌍 @esa and @AfSA_AU have taken another significant step in strengthening cooperation between Europe and Africa in space by jointly supporting the Space Systems Engineering Training Course. 🛰️
🎓 From 7–10 October, 30 young engineers from 24 nationalities, including 13 participants from Africa, gathered at the ESA Education Training and Learning Facility in ESEC‑Galaxia, Belgium, to build capacity and a shared future in space. ✨
🚀 Held under the Africa–EU Space Partnership Programme, a Global Gateway flagship funded by the European Commission and co‑implemented by ESA and AfSA, the training marked a growing strategic and educational collaboration. 🤝

Do you dream of performing an #experiment in space conditions? ✨🧪
✈️ A #Parabolic Flight on-board the @AirZeroG aircraft allows to negate the effect of Earth’s gravity (g) for around 20 seconds!
Try it with ESA Academy Experiments programme 👇
