Academic Thesises at the Austrian Space Forum

Each year, the Austrian Space Forums hosts students for the final thesis at their respective universities – often in combination with ongoing OeWF research projects. This allows for a combination of practical work in a fascinating work setting and an outstanding academic education. Universities and Universities of Applied Sciences from a national and international environment cooperate with the forum since 2009.
