The Centre, focusing on talent cultivation, has been effectively promoting space education since its establishment. Emphasizing on assessment in accordance with standards, strict thesis proposal and defense with individualized teaching are carried out at the Centre.

It is hoped that the students would summarize on what they learnt, have plans for their study and do more practice in academic research.

From March to April, the Centre compiled the participants’ reports into a book called Research Report of Developing Countries’ Space Technology Applications, which gave a detailed introduction of space technology applications situation of fifteen (15) countries, including Algeria, Bangladesh, Bolivia, Brazil, Indonesia, Iran, Laos, Mongolia, Mozambique, Myanmar, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, Thailand and Venezuela. It involves Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System (RS&GIS), Satellite Communication, Micro-satellite Technology and many other aspects, which has a great significance on the research of current situation, demands and prospects of developing countries in the field of space technology application.
