11th EASN International Conference on Innovation in Aviation & Space to the Satisfaction of the European Citizens

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is cooperating with the 11th 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 1 to 4 September 2021. The conference venue will be located at the Fisciano Campus of the University of Salerno.

Like its predecessors, the 11^th EASN International Conference will include a number of Plenary Talks by distinguished personalities of the European Aviation and Space sectors from academia, industry, the research community, and policy makers.

The event will also give an opportunity to scientists and researchers from all over the world to present their recent achievements in a series of thematic sessions, organized by internationally recognized scientists.

Furthermore, the conference is expected to be a major European Dissemination and Exploitation event of aviation- and space-related research, as it will provide a forum for presenting their activities and achieved goals, discussing on current trends and future needs of aviation- and space-related research and trying to identify possible synergies with each other. Additionally, a number of policy development projects will also find the floor to present the strategic priorities of the European aviation sector with regard to the challenges of FlightPath2050 and the expected “Horizon Europe” Framework Programme.  

The EASN Organizing Committee is working to organize a physical Conference in Salerno, Italy and there is confidence and optimism that, despite COVID-19, this will by then be a realistic scenario. Obviously, the EASN Team is also prepared for a hybrid or a fully virtual Conference as a backup solution in case it becomes necessary.

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

We look forward to welcoming you in Salerno and to making the 2021 EASN International Conference successful, and we welcome you to submit extended conference papers to this Special Issue.
