Established in 2025, AGH’s Faculty of Space Technologies offers a bachelor’s programme in Space Engineering and a master’s programme in Space Technologies. Students can apply what they learn through student research clubs, working on projects such as building satellites and developing payloads for lunar missions.
As part of the partnership, Liftero specialists and other industry professionals will give students a firsthand look at working in the space sector. Using examples from their own projects, they will show how engineering teams make decisions, use test results and take hardware from design to flight.
The agreement also provides for dedicated visits to Liftero’s lab, where students from the faculty will be able to see how spacecraft propulsion systems are developed and tested.
The partnership will give students a platform to talk to engineers about their work while they are still choosing projects and areas of specialisation. The two partners can also develop further educational initiatives that bring industry experience into the classroom.
“We want students to see during their studies how many different skills it takes to get hardware into space. A single propulsion system brings together people working in design, electronics and testing. Working with Liftero will let students take a closer look at those roles and think about where they might fit.” — prof. Tadeusz Uhl, Dean at the Faculty of Space Technologies, AGH University of Krakow.
The partnership gives Liftero a chance to get to know potential candidates before they graduate and show them what it is like to work at the company. By showing students the work that goes into its propulsion systems, Liftero can help them see how their skills could contribute to future space missions.
“I’d like someone studying at AGH’s Faculty of Space Technologies today to be building hardware that flies in space a few years from now, right here in Kraków, just as we did. It’s time to share what we know and what we’ve learned through hands-on work, and do our part to prepare the next generation of people working in Poland’s space sector.” — Tomasz Palacz, Co-founder and CEO of Liftero.
