Supporting the Future of Aerospace Education
At Hellas Sat, we believe that the future of the space sector depends on the people who will shape it.
Through our collaboration with the Department of Aerospace Science and Technology at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA), we are investing in the next generation of aerospace professionals by supporting students at the beginning of their academic journey.
This initiative reflects our long-term commitment to education, innovation and the development of highly skilled talent for the European space sector.
Aerospace Scholarships for Future Space Professionals
As part of this initiative, Hellas Sat will award three scholarships to first-year students of the Department of Aerospace Science and Technology.
In addition, one dedicated scholarship will be awarded to a student from Cyprus, reinforcing the company’s commitment to supporting young talent across both Greece and Cyprus.
The scholarships will be officially presented during the 3rd Space Symposium, taking place on 7–8 October 2026.
Summer Internship Opportunities
Beyond financial support, Hellas Sat is also offering Summer Internship opportunities at its facilities.
Students will gain practical experience in satellite communications and space operations while working alongside experienced professionals in a real operational environment.
The programme aims to bridge academic knowledge with hands-on industry experience, helping students develop the skills required for a successful career in the space sector.
A Partnership with NKUA
This initiative is implemented in collaboration with the Department of Aerospace Science and Technology at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, under the leadership of Professor Vaios Lappas.
By combining academic excellence with industry expertise, the partnership aims to strengthen the connection between higher education and the rapidly evolving space sector.
Investing in the Next Generation
Supporting young scientists and engineers is an investment in the future of the European space ecosystem.
Through initiatives such as aerospace scholarships, internships and knowledge-sharing opportunities, Hellas Sat continues to contribute to the development of future professionals who will help shape the next generation of satellite communications and space technologies.
The company remains committed to building strong partnerships with academic institutions and supporting initiatives that encourage innovation, collaboration and excellence across the space community.
