2.  ESA Fellowship Programme

The ESA Fellowship Programme aims to select the best trainees and allow them to visit, for a period of 3 months training, the best training centres that Europe can offer.
Criteria have been established to allow us to identify the best and most promising trainees, and the centres which can offer the best of teaching and experience in Europe: with grants sufficient to cover living expenses and learning in these centres, the ESA seeks to mix together the two ingredients, for the primary benefit of the trainees.
The programme allows for six fellowships of up to 10,000 euros each to be awarded in 2008, to cover travel, living expenses and accommodation, each for 3 months.

Applications must be received no later than 15 September 2007.
