[amsat-bb] ESERO Germany opened in Bochum

[Peter Guelzow]

AMSAT-Deutschland e.V.  and the Bochum Observatory are part of ESA’s
current education iniative.

On May 16, 2018, the newly founded European Space Education Resource
Office (ESERO) in Germany, or ESERO Germany for short, was officially
launched at a ceremony at the Bochum Planetarium. So far there have been
11 such ESERO offices in 13 different European countries - Germany was
not yet there. After a lengthy selection process, Bochum was finally
selected as the location for Germany. In cooperation with the
Ruhr-University Bochum, the Bochum Observatory, the AMSAT-DL and other
partners are founding members of this educational and scientific consortium.

This is a joint project of the European Space Agency ESA, the German
Aerospace Center DLR and other partners with the core objective of
integrating space research into school programmes and thus promoting the
interest and skills of students in MINT subjects (mathematics, computer
science, natural sciences and technology).

The Bochum Observatory and AMSAT-DL are proud to be part of ESERO and
are looking forward to contributing their expertise to the project!
