UNIVERSEH: The European Space University

Welcome to the Dictionary of Space Concepts

What is the Dictionary of Space Concepts?

The Dictionary of Space Concepts (DSC) is a project by UNIVERSEH – the European Space University of Earth and Humanity. Starting in 2020, this Alliance of five European Universities decided to launch an online dictionary dealing with terms and concepts related to space sciences. It should be created and used by students, lecturers, researchers and citizens alike.

After an initial planning phase, the DSC was published in spring 2022. It opens up several opportunities for all members of the UNIVERSEH Alliance and interested citizens to contribute to the content of the DSC.

In our course "Terms and Concepts of Space", students learn how to write a dictionary article and later on contribute several entries to the DSC.
