Training and Strategic Partnerships
Staff at MSSL work strategically with organisations to develop innovative technologies and increase capability. Over many years, MSSL has developed mutually beneficial partnerships with companies such as Airbus and Teledyne e2v.
Through the Technology Management Group (TMG), professional training courses for industry can be developed. Previous courses have promoted a forward-looking approach to the management of technology projects and have been delivered across Europe, North America and Asia, and include courses for the European Space Agency (ESA), Jaguar Land Rover, PA Consulting, Leonardo and BAE Systems. These training courses improve organisational capability to deliver complex, cutting-edge projects effectively, delivering significant value for stakeholders on a global scale.
Bespoke training courses have also been created to support the UK’s space weather forecasting efforts. Space weather forecasters at the Met Office Space Weather Operations Centre (MOSWOC) have attend courses that equip forecasters with a better understanding of the science of space weather. The underpinning research that was communicated at the training events increased forecasters’ knowledge and the competences required for their role.
