Boeing & UC3M: preparing the next generation of aerospace engineers
A Shared Commitment to the Aerospace Industry
Boeing and Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) share a commitment to educating the next generation of aerospace engineers. The sponsorship, awarded for the first time in 2026 by Boeing’s Community Engagement fund, brings together Boeing’s aerospace industry expertise and UC3M’s teaching and research in aerospace engineering.
Hands-On Learning in the Flight Simulation Laboratory
Opening: early 2027
Boeing 737-800 simulator
The donation will help fund new equipment for UC3M’s flight simulation laboratory, which will be inaugurated in early 2027. This enhanced learning environment will give students the opportunity to develop practical skills, including experience operating a Boeing 737-800 simulator. New equipment will expand the laboratory’s resources and help connect classroom concepts with simulated aviation scenarios.
Two Scholarship Opportunities
2 scholarships
Master in Aerospace Science and Technology
Boeing will offer two scholarships to eligible students enrolled in UC3M’s Master’s Degree in Aerospace Science and Technology. All students who meet the eligibility requirements may apply. The scholarships aim to help students deepen their knowledge of aerospace science and technology and prepare for future career opportunities in the industry.
From Support to Student Impact
Academic learning + applied experience
The scholarships and investment in the laboratory represent two practical ways Boeing’s donation can support UC3M students: by creating opportunities to pursue graduate studies and by enhancing the environment for hands-on aerospace training. Together, they reflect the goal of this collaboration: preparing future engineers through academic learning andapplied experience.

Boeing in Spain
As one of the world’s leading aerospace companies, Boeing develops, manufactures, and supports commercial airplanes, defense products, and space systems for customers in more than 150 countries. As one of the leading exporters of manufactured goods from the United States, the company benefits from the talent of an international supplier base to foster economic opportunity, sustainability, and community impact. Boeing’s diverse team is committed to innovation for the future, to leading in sustainability, and to nurturing a culture grounded in the company’s core values: safety, quality, and integrity.
Boeing’s presence in Spain dates back more than 90 years, during which it has served the needs of its commercial airline customers and maintained long-standing collaboration with the Spanish aerospace sector. It has also supplied aircraft, helicopters, and military systems to the Spanish Armed Forces for many years. Boeing’s European E&TI center (Boeing Engineering and Technology Innovation–Europe), headquartered in Madrid, generates innovative ideas to meet Boeing’s and its customers’ needs in areas such as digital engineering, avionics systems, data-driven airline services, solutions for integrating autonomous systems into shared airspace, materials, and manufacturing technologies.
