Its objectives are twofold:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Enhance cooperation among those involved in developing Ariane launchers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Promote the European space industry to the public, especially young people, to inspire future professionals in the sector.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The presidency rotates annually to allow all members to actively contribute. Mulhouse and Eiffage Energie Syst\u00e8mes, who previously held the presidency in 2013, once again take on this role in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In conjunction with this presidency, a program of activities titled &#8220;Space &amp; Me&#8221; is held throughout the year, in collaboration with local municipalities, museums, and partners within the Mulhouse metropolitan area. The program includes exhibitions, conferences, guided tours, and treasure hunts. Discover the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.m2a.fr\/economie\/communaute-des-villes-ariane\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2025 activities program<\/a> here (in French).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From Alsace to space: a small step for mankind&#8230;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Far from the Kourou Space Center, where European rockets are launched, Alsace still holds a prominent position in the global space landscape. In addition to Mulhouse&#8217;s nomination, Strasbourg is home to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.isunet.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">International Space University (ISU)<\/a>, which provides multidisciplinary training for future professionals, astronauts, and space experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Strasbourg was chosen as the ISU headquarters in 1994 after a global competition, thanks to its strong international reputation. The ISU is affiliated with numerous schools worldwide, including in Australia, Canada, the USA, Belgium, Turkey, China, Italy, Spain, Russia, and Sweden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ISU also serves as a neutral international forum dedicated to sharing knowledge and ideas on complex space-related issues and applications.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Established in 1998 by the European Space Agency (ESA), the French Space Agency (CNES), and Arianespace, the Community of Ariane Cities aims to inform and engage the public about European space activities.
