The European Commission’s Flagship Event Is Scheduled For October 20-23 In Central London

Aerodays, the 7th European Aeronautics Days, is the European flagship event in aviation research and innovation which takes place once, during each EU Research Framework Program. Aero days is claimed to be the only gathering of its kind to bring together the latest research and innovation and Aeronautics and Air transport.

Designed to present strategic perspectives for aviation, including research and innovation, the goal is to share achievements of collaborative research and innovation in aeronautics and air transport within Europe and world-wide international co-operation.

Key themes for this year’s event are:

Efficient and seamless mobility: Aviation is a key component of that transport system, adding global to local value through both businesses (by supporting exports, inward investment, local employment) and the general public.

Competitiveness of Industry: Innovation and technological leadership is the major competitive differentiator for European industry for the foreseeable future.

Greening of Aviation: The 1999 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) study found that if aircraft carbon emissions continue to rise they could contribute up to 15 per cent of global warming from all human activities within 50 years.

Safety & Security: For aviation to maintain and improve on an already remarkable safety record, a total system approach to aviation safety will be needed.

Skills for Breakthroughs: For future breakthroughs to have an impact on the environmental performance, safety, efficiency, passenger experience and industrial competiveness of European Aviation; a highly skilled workforce with access to state-of-the-art facilities will be needed.
