The European Space Agency - ESA for short - will be at Gamescom to bridge the gap between video games and real space adventures!
If you have played one of the many Star Wars games, Mass Effect or Halo, chances are you have imagined yourself experiencing those space adventures. In video games, the scientists in the stories are often the coolest of the bunch (Dr. Gordon Freeman, to name my personal favorite) and absolutely indispensable when it comes to saving the universe – and don't even get me started on Space Marines, the Master Chief or Jedi.
By now, you have probably given up on the dream of experiencing the adventures from these games, as well as others (like rescuing princesses and street racing). But this is where ESA takes the stage: it is possible to live this dream, after all, in thrilling believability (at least the one that takes you to space – not even ESA can help with princesses).
And the best thing about it? You don’t even have to take a long detour to take a closer look at this fantastic opportunity: you can find ESA at Gamescom – so space is much closer than you think!
This Is The European Space Agency
ESA is an intergovernmental organization of 22 Member States and a world leader in space exploration and innovation, offering exceptional career opportunities in astrophysics, engineering, project management, communications, and more for space enthusiasts. ESA's mission is to explore space peacefully, advancing humanity's knowledge and prosperity for the benefit of all.
This mission includes observing the Earth, developing inspiring space projects and even training astronauts. At ESA, scientists, engineers and business professionals work together closely to make this vision a reality.
If this already sounds amazing to you and you want to become part of ESA, you are sure to find an exciting job here that matches your skills perfectly!
