Introduction

This 2-day event is organised by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), in cooperation with the Advisory Council of Aviation Research & Innovation in Europe (ACARE) and the European Commission.

It offers the opportunity to engage with policy and decision makers, as well as leading aviation safety researchers, to confirm promising research avenues and define the ongoing and future Air Safety Research and Innovation Strategy.

Who should attend ?

This Conference is aimed at five groups: Policy-makers, Regulators, Industry leaders and representatives, Safety Managers, and Safety Researchers. These are the people overseeing the safety of aviation in Europe. Each group already does this at their own level, but the point of this Conference is to ensure that this focus on safety works collectively, that from EU and national policies to the companies they affect, the thinking is ‘joined-up’.
