E-catalogue
Thanks to the intensive collaboration with CNES, the WG created an on-line database on space education and training courses in the NEREUS regions. The e-catalogue which gives a very comprehensive overview of the space courses available in the universities and institutes in our regions is now running.

Re-launch of the WG
On the occassion of the Symposium on 16 April 2010 the WG met in Grenada/Andalusia for the first time under the lead of the two co-chair-women Martina Hilger, Bremen and Malecka Saleman, CNES and used the gathering to decide on a number of fundamental questions regarding the content of the working group. The working group renamed itself to Communication, Education and Training (CET) Working Group and put emphasis on raising the public’s awareness of space technology.
