EASN Newsletter - July 2018

EASN Newsletter - July 2018

July 4th, 2018

The third EASN periodic Newsletter for 2018 is now published.

This edition includes updates on the recent undertakings of the European Aeronautical community, as well as on some of the topmost upcoming news and events.

First of all, this latest issue presents the highlights of the dual event, held by the EASN Association, in Brussels on April 12th, 2018, i.e. the 2nd Parliamentary Breakfast and the Open EASN Workshop under the common topic "Accelerated impact of academic aviation research for improved air transport for all European citizens".

Moreover, I would like to draw your attention to the upcoming 8th EASN-CEAS International Workshop on "Manufacturing for Growth & Innovation" to be held on September 4th to September 7th, 2018, in Glasgow, UK. In particular, we are pleased to inform you that more than 120 high-quality works will be presented in about 30 sessions and a number of about 150 participants are expected to attend. Additionally, an exhibition area accommodating 10 entities/companies will be set-up, facilitating B2B meetings between the Conference participants, expecting that this will be proven a useful tool in boosting new cooperations and synergies.

This third issue of the EASN Newsletter also contains two very stimulating interviews related to activities in which the EASN Association is involved: In the first interview, Dr. Athanasios Dafnis, Deputy Head of Institute of Structural Mechanics and Lightweight Design at RWTH Aachen University, presents a new Interest Group, under the title: "Space technologies and applications". In the second one, the Secretary General of the EASN Association and coordinating person for the organization of the 2nd Parliamentary Breakfast and the Open EASN Workshop, Dr. Helge Pfeiffer, shares with us his view on the result of this EASN initiative.

Finally, the current issue holds a series of other engaging topics including the latest achievements and results of several EU-funded research projects and members of the EASN Association.
