10th EASN International Conference on Innovation in Aviation & Space to the Satisfaction of the European Citizens

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is cooperating with the 10th EASN International Conference on “Innovation in Aviation & Space to the Satisfaction of the European Citizens” (https://easnconference.eu), which will take place in Salerno, Italy from the 2^nd until the 5^th of September, 2020. The conference venue will be located at the Fisciano Campus of the University of Salerno.

The aim of this gathering is dual: to act as a forum where innovative ideas, breakthrough concepts, and disruptive technologies are presented, while in parallel to be the place for disseminating the knowledge and results achieved in the frame of research projects of the aviation and space field. The previous EASN International Conference, held in Athens, Greece in September 2019, was the most successful amongst the events organized by EASN so far and was attended by more than 450 participants from various disciplines.  

Like its predecessors, the 10th EASN International Conference will include a number of Plenary Talks by distinguished personalities of the European Aviation and Space sectors from the academia, industry, research community and policy makers. It will also include Thematic Sessions, along with Technical Workshops where evolving ideas, technologies, products, services and processes will be discussed.

Furthermore, the conference is expected to be a major European Dissemination and Exploitation event of aviation and space-related research. The majority of the currently running research projects will exploit the 3-day technical program to present their activities and achieved goals, discuss on current trends and future needs of the aviation and space-related research, and try to identify possible synergies with each other. Additionally, a number of policy development projects will also be given the floor with the aim to present the strategic priorities of the European aviation sector with regard to the challenges of FlightPath2050 and the expected “Horizon Europe” Framework Programme.

Last but not least, the 10th EASN International Conference will be accompanied by a small exhibition where the overview of the aviation and space ecosystem in Italy will be presented.

Authors of outstanding papers related to aviation and space are invited to submit extended versions of their work to this Special Issue for publication.
