This summer, the <\/span>Institut d\u2019Estudis Espacials de Catalunya<\/span><\/a> (IEEC) has offered five high school students the opportunity to gain a close insight into the daily work of a research team. These placements are part of the second phase of the programme to promote scientific careers, \u2018<\/span>Youth and Science<\/span><\/a>\u2019, run by the <\/span>Fundaci\u00f3 Catalunya La Pedrera<\/span><\/a>, and it is the second consecutive year that the IEEC has hosted students in this phase.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Beyond providing high-value and practical technical learning through day-to-day work in a research group, the \u2018Youth and Science\u2019 placements offer the opportunity to develop key skills such as communication, decision-making, and collaboration. For many, experiences like these serve as a pathway to guide their academic and professional future.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Photsat<\/span><\/a> team, the first scientific satellite developed entirely by the IEEC and designed to monitor the 40 million brightest stars in the sky, hosted <\/span>Ian Montero<\/b>. During his placement, the student collaborated on tasks in the electronics laboratory, working with instruments and tools for the development and testing of the satellite\u2019s subsystems. In addition, he acquired skills in scientific and technological work related to space exploration.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the <\/span>Montsec Observatory<\/span><\/a> (OdM), located in Sant Esteve de la Sarga (Pallars Juss\u00e0) and managed by the IEEC, <\/span>Guillem Renaurd<\/b> carried out his placement. He worked on exoplanet photometry, analysing transit data observed within one of the research programmes of the Telescopi Joan Or\u00f3 (TJO), as part of the ARIEL mission of the European Space Agency (ESA). <\/span><\/p>\n

Guillem also had the opportunity to take part in supervising the operations of the observatory\u2019s robotic telescopes and to spend a night at the new Wide Field Fast Telescope (TRAC, by its Catalan acronym), to see how it works and what images it produces. <\/span>Kike Herrero<\/b>, director of the OdM, states that these placements represent \u201ca great opportunity to identify and encourage scientific vocations.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The research group studying systematic errors in measuring the Hubble constant, at the <\/span>Institut de Ci\u00e8ncies de l\u2019Espai<\/span><\/a> (ICE-CSIC), hosted <\/span>Martina Solano<\/b>, who collaborated in the characterisation of nearby galaxies with Cepheid stars and Type Ia supernovae. She also gathered and analysed images in different bands of the electromagnetic spectrum and applied stellar synthesis codes to study stellar populations. \u201cThe work carried out by Martina will help assess possible uncertainties in cosmic distance measurements, which will allow us to better understand the expansion of the Universe,\u201d explains <\/span>Llu\u00eds Galbany<\/b>, principal investigator of the group.<\/span><\/p>\n

In parallel, a new research group joined these placements by hosting two students, the <\/span>CommSensLab<\/span><\/a> (UPC). Led by researchers <\/span>Merc\u00e8 Vall-llossera<\/b> and <\/span>N\u00faria Duff\u00f2<\/b>, the group hosted <\/span>Pol Orriols<\/b> and <\/span>Bernat Salavert<\/b>, who collaborated with the team on remote sensing applied to Earth Observation. During the placement, the students worked with satellite images \u2014 mainly from Sentinel-2 and SMOS \u2014 using tools such as Google Earth Engine, QGIS, and Python programming to process and analyse environmental data. In this way, they were able to acquire skills in geospatial data processing, time series analysis, and the use of remote sensing platforms, with direct applications in environmental management and the study of climate change.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to their direct participation in each of the research groups, the students had the opportunity to attend the <\/span>NewSpace Economy Congress 2025<\/span><\/a>, where they were able to witness first-hand the growth of the Catalan and international space sector. The experience allowed them to meet professionals and students from the field and to discover the wide range of areas in which one can work within the space sector.<\/span><\/p>\n
