Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is cooperating with the 14th EASN International Conference on “Innovation in Aviation & Space towards Sustainability Today & Tomorrow”, which will be held by the EASN Association and the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, and will take place in Thessaloniki, Greece from the October 8th to 11th, 2024.
This conference is all about engaging in a lively exchange of ideas. It will feature prominent figures from Europe’s Aviation and Space sectors, representing academia, industry, research, and policymaking, who will share their valuable insights during the Plenary Talks. The conference will offer a platform for scientists and researchers worldwide to present their latest discoveries across various thematic sessions. These sessions, thoughtfully curated by respected experts, aim to facilitate knowledge exchange and foster collaboration.
Beyond the research presentations, this conference aspires to be a hub for European Dissemination and Exploitation. Participants will have the opportunity to showcase ongoing projects, celebrate milestones, delve into current trends, and explore future requirements within the aviation and space domains, with a focus on forging connections and synergies. Notably, esteemed policy development projects will also be featured, shedding light on the strategic priorities guiding the European aviation sector toward sustainability.
Authors of outstanding papers related to the topic of aviation and space are invited to submit extended versions of their work to this Special Issue for publication.
We are looking forward to welcoming you to Thessaloniki and the 2024 EASN International Conference, and invite submissions of extended conference papers to this Special Issue. We hope that the conference will be another successful, in-person gathering of the EASN Association.
