JOIN THE TEAM

For whom is this opportunity?

Motivated bachelor or master students at Hasselt University! 

The project is mainly extracurricular, and can be undertaken on a voluntary basis, for lifelong learning (LLL), or even for project+ credits. Additionally, there are possibilities to extend your involvement through a bachelor or master thesis, or another suitable course. By dedicating your time, you'll take part in every phase of a space project, from its initial idea phase to operation and data processing. You'll gain practical skills in proposal writing and documentation, critical thinking, design, development, and publishing. Joining the team will provide you with the opportunity to experience the full lifecycle of a space project!

What will you gain?

By being part of the journey, you will gain:

• Invaluable experience and personal growth
• Soft skills: communication, teamwork, giving and receiving feedback, creativity, independence, self-realization, academic writing, public speaking, presentation skills, and time management
• Technical skills: Get familiar with space standards (designing, assembling, manufacturing requirements), hands-on experience, learn how to implement theoretical concepts into practical implementation
• Dealing, working, and adhering to requirements
• Position in an interdisciplinary team
• Meet people with a similar interest and mind-set
• Get in touch with the Belgian and European space sector

Where are we located?

We have a laboratory space at IUMAT (Wetenschapspark 1), where you will be able to work together with the rest of the team. Here you will have the facilities, tools, and freedom to explore and experiment in a creative environment.
