ISU is the 2012 Laureate of the Hubert Curien Award

2012 Hubert Curien Award

The Hubert Curien Award Jury had the exceptionally difficult task to select the 2012 winner, among the exceptional candidates nominated this year. The 2012 laureate of the Hubert Curien Award is the International Space University.

The International Space University is a private non-profit institution, formally recognised as an institute of higher education in France by the French Ministry of Education. It specialises in providing graduate-level training to the future leaders of the emerging global space community at its Central Campus in Strasbourg, France, and at locations around the world.

Prof. Walter Peeters, ISU President confirmed “ISU is proud of this Award. It stresses the Intercultural, International and Interdisciplinary approach which is the core basis of all its programs. Space is a utility and an integral part of societal progress. In addition to the basic knowledge in science and technology, all alumni of ISU are provided with a good insight in these societal aspects in order to make sure that in their careers they will always take into account humanistic and ethical values.”

Since its founding in 1987, ISU has graduated more than 3300 students from over 100 countries. Together with hundreds of ISU faculty and lecturers from around the world, ISU alumni comprise an extremely effective network of space professionals and leaders that actively facilitates individual career growth, professional activities and international space cooperation.

The Award Ceremony will be announced on this website soon.
