Each year, the Austrian Space Forums hosts students for the final thesis at their respective universities \u2013 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.<\/p>\n\n\n
