Studying or Working with ASRI

ASRI does not offer courses leading to the grant of qualifications. The International Space University offers courses in a variety of space-related fields. A number of Australian educational institutions that collaborate with ASRI, including the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Queensland University of Technology, University of Queensland, and the University of Technology in Sydney, also offer space-related courses.

As a volunteer organisation with no paid employees, ASRI is not able to offer work experience to students or industry professionals.

Submitting an Idea to ASRI

ASRI is open to accepting clearly thought through new project ideas via the established Project Proposal process.

Every Project Proposal received by the ASRI Board will be assessed on it's merits and synergy with ASRI objectives. New Project Proposals or enquiries should, in the first instance, be forwarded to the ASRI Programs Manager by e-mail.
