Communication and education

Space is universally appealing to young and old. What does the Netherlands actually do in space? How and how much do we invest in our space activities? How do these activities benefit Dutch society as a whole? What role does the NSO play in all this?

The Team Communication & Education strives to answer these questions for a broad general and professional audience. By order of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, special attention is given to primary- and secondary-school students with the goal of inspiring more young boys and girls to pursue a career in science, technology and space.

The team performs its task through the plan-based development and utilisation of communication assets and activities and by supporting other teams with the organisation of workshops and events. The team's activities include press and media communication, website and social media, NL Space branding, organising events and directing and organising educational activities such as ESERO, Cansat and Mission X.
