No European country can remain the single stakeholder in the field of aerospace. Actually, public agencies and companies are increasingly European. Accordingly, ECATA (European Consortium on Advanced Training in Aerospace) academic partners, [1] including the National Higher Education Institute for Aerospace of Toulouse, among others, and Prague CTU University have decided to set up a European aerospace course, with a view to gradually establishing integrated European education in this field.
In September 2010, a new program called EASI (European Aerospace Institute) will be available. 100 to 120 students at 8 European Universities will be eligible to attend a European Master's course in Aerospace. When the course is over, the students of the EASI master's will receive their degree from their own university as well as a European Certificate delivered by the 8 partners.
