TheÌýinspirational nature of exoplanet and extragalactic science attracts the best students and young minds from all overÌýthe world. The intersectorial environment of CSED prepares a newÌýgeneration of highly-qualified leaders and managers in scientific, technicalÌýand business areas.
CSED fosters educational initiativesÌýconnected to exoplanet science and STEM, including plans for a national and international roll-out of the successfulÌýÌýandÌýÌýprogrammesÌýcurrently run in the LondonÌýarea.
