Logo of PEGASUS.

The Partnership of a European Group of Aeronautics and Space UniversitieS (PEGASUS) is a special group of universities in Europe. These universities teach about airplanes, rockets, and space. PEGASUS helps students from different countries study together. It also helps professors work on new ideas and research projects.

PEGASUS was started in 1998 by three big French schools. These schools were experts in aviation and space. Their goal was to connect universities across Europe. This way, they could share knowledge and help each other grow.

Big airplane makers, like Airbus, work closely with the PEGASUS network. This helps make sure that students learn the skills needed for jobs in the aviation industry. It also helps companies find new talent.
