At the 2005 Paris Air show CNES launched a student program named
PERSEUS
(Projet Etudiant de Recherche Spatiale Européen Universitaire et Scientifique).
The program is explained in this
document
.
There are multiple flight demonstrators build for the perseus project. The UAV's mini-L3AR and EOLE (a flight demonstrators for a Male UAV that can Airlaunch a hybrid rocket capable of orbiting a 50kg (110pound) Satellite to LEO.
And three types of rockets:
-ARES a rockets with CTI ProX solid engines with a diameter of 0,16m (6.3inch) that serve as technology test bed. ARES rockets are subsonic rockets, they launch during High Power Rocketry launch days.
-Sera super-sonic two stage rockets with CTI proX engines and a diameter of 0,16m. The first one launched in 2014 from Esrange the second one is planned to launch this year and the third one in 2018.

The first launch attempt of SERA2 form Esrange Space Center (SSC; ESC) is planned for April 27th 14:00 LT (UTC+2).
Links:
Perseus Page
Article about the Flight Acceptance Review for
SERA2
Supaero Space Section
page about SERA2
I expect the team to arrive at Esrange sometime next week.
Before the SERA 2 launch, the DLR STERN, ZARM (TU bremen) ZEpHyR will attempt to launch again.
Following the SERA 2 launch form Esrange, the next event for PERSEUS is the C'Space launch day from CEL; Test Center Landes, Biscarosse, France. Several ARES rockets will launch at this launch event. This is most likely planned for July 2016, but I couldn't find info about this launch day jet.
I only found a reference on the website form
TU Wien Space Team
(Austria)
