The ECSS established a coherent, one set of consumer-friendly specifications for all European room things to do. This purpose is achieved by applying widespread specifications for undertaking management, for the development and testing of components and computer software, and for merchandise and top quality assurance. All specifications and specifications updates are agreed in between all the stakeholders, organizations and field alike.

The use of specifications is aiming to minimise technical chance and cost for room units and room merchandise development, while ensuring the compatibility of all things of a room undertaking. It is thus essential to anything that ESA does.

The training course is aimed at students in engineering at Grasp and PhD amount and who are intrigued in working in the room sector. 

Upon completion of the education training course, students will be evaluated by means of an on line questionnaire and will get a certificate of participation and a training course transcript, making it possible for them to request ECTS credit(s) from their respective universities.
