Engineer your Future Day 2024

Your future: Who cares?! We do!

This year, we are inviting you – our Bachelor's and Master's students – to the ‘Engineer Your Future Day’ student fair. Come along and learn more about your opportunities during and after your Bachelor's degree, as a Master's student or graduate in a relaxed atmosphere. We have been able to win former astronaut Thomas Reiter as our ‘anchor man’. His keynote speech will kick off the lecture programme.

  • You can expect a varied stage programme with former ESA astronaut Thomas Reiter as keynote speaker and other exciting speakers from industry and business, science and research, moderated by science slammer Rainer Holl.
  • We invite you to enjoy coffee and snacks at our Engineers Bar! ☕

  • All specialist areas present themselves at a trade fair.
  • ESA will have its own stand.
  • Afterwards, the student council will barbecue for you at their summer party. ☀
