Project Info

The increased demand for services provided by satellite systems, ranging from communications to research and earth observation, has led to more satellites being launched in the past 5 years than in the previous 60 years combined. This has brought multiple opportunities for specialists in related devices, systems and technologies. Funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the MWP4SPACE project aims to offer 15 young researchers training in the skills required to occupy these positions. The researchers will be provided with a novel education programme that will make them experts in integrated microwave photonic equipment and systems for satellite and space frameworks.
