One Of Canada's Top Engineering Schools Will Host The 2014
Sessions
The 27th annual Space Studies Program (SSP) session presented by
the International Space University (ISU) will be hosted by the
École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS) and HEC
Montréal in 2014. The 2014 session will mark the third time
that the ISU has convened an SSP in Canada. After Toronto in 1990
and Vancouver in 2005, the selection of Montréal will bring
the SSP to a center of Canadian Space Excellence, home to a large
number of space-related industrial and educational institutions as
well as the Canadian Space Agency.
The ÉTS is part of the Université du Québec
network and specializes in applied teaching and research in
engineering. HEC Montréal is Canada’s oldest business
school, and was the first business school in North America to
receive the three most prestigious accreditations in the field of
management education: AACSB International, AMBA and EQUIS.
By providing both the technical expertise and facilities of an
engineering school with the managerial know-how and facilities of a
leading management school, the ÉTS and HEC Montréal
partnership offers tremendous potential to complement ISU’s
rich curriculum.
“The opportunity to convene the SSP in Montréal is
something we’ve long awaited," said Prof. Angie Bukley, ISU
Dean and SSP Director. "With well over 400 ISU alumni, a
well-established ISU scholarship foundation, dozens of ISU faculty
members, and the strong support of the Canadian Space Agency,
Canada as a country is among the strongest of ISU supporters across
the board. Montréal as a venue is culturally rich and will
offer a plethora of opportunities for our participants.”
The ISU provides an interdisciplinary education in an
intercultural and international environment to support the
development of future leaders in the world space community. The SSP
offers its participants a unique and comprehensive education
covering all aspects of space programs and enterprises including
space physical sciences, space engineering, policy and law,
business and management, space and society, space applications, and
space life sciences and human spaceflight.
The ÉTS and HEC Montréal believe that hosting the
SSP14 jointly not only reflects the interdisciplinary nature of the
SSP, but more importantly reflects the reality of the space
sector.
