Born in France in the home town of ISU, Aurélie Trur studied international relations and foreign languages with a focus on politics and legal issues affecting the space sector. Her studies brought her in several countries outside of Europe with historically solid space programs (Canada, the United-States and Russia).
Her Masters degree in International Relations from École des Hautes Études Internationales HEI-HEP-ESJ Paris led her to participate to the ISU Summer Session Program in Vancouver B.C. in 2005 as a student and to further specialize in the field with a MSc. in Space Management at the International Space University.
Upon graduation, Aurélie worked for the European Parliament in Strasbourg and then moved to Brussels working in institutional affairs for a global leader in space telecommunications. After a cultural experience in Moscow, her journey has brought her to the Canadian capital working for a legal firm.
