World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development

When the majority of new ESA missions are dreamt up, the technology that makes them possible does not even exist – yet. Our engineers are continuously working on inventing and developing the new technologies needed to make missions happen. But that’s only half the story; innovative technologies built to push Europe further into space can also support sustainable development on Earth.

Proclaimed by UNESCO in 2019, World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development is an opportunity to highlight how engineering can change the world for the better. There is still lots to be done to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), but maturing the right technologies puts us on the path to success.
