ESA welcomes applications from scientists interested in pursuing research projects based on data publicly available in the ESA Space Science Archives.
The ESA Archival Research Visitor Programme is open to scientists affiliated with institutes in ESA Member States and Collaborating States. We will also consider strong applications from outside those states. Early-career scientists including students are particularly encouraged to apply, and so are women and minorities. Research projects can be carried out at ESAC and at ESTEC. Visits last typically 1-3 months. ESA covers travel costs and provides support for lodging expenses and meals. The evaluation process is anonymised to ensure equal opportunities for all applicants.
The next deadline for applications is 30 April 2025.
