The Aircraft Noise and Emissions Reduction Symposium (ANERS), an international conference focusing on the topics and issues of aircraft emissions and noise reduction will be held in Marseille (France) 25:th to 27:th of October. Visit the ECATS booth! For more information go to:  www.aners2011.com

ECATS International Association was invited to present state-of-the-art research and achievements during Aerodays 2011, 30 March – 1 April, in Madrid. Thematic expertise and recent scientific results from ECATS International Association were presented by Sigrun Matthes (Association Chair) in a session on Climate aspects on a Sustainable Air Transport System. Andreas Petzold presented science interface to be set up in CSA WEZARD (FP7, Weather hazards for Aeronautics) in a session on Disruptive Events for Air Transport. Sigrun Matthes presented results from CP REACT4C (FP7, Reducing Emissions from Aviation by Changing Trajectories for the benefit of climate) during a session on Air Traffic Operations. Mitigation options and assessment of total aviation climate impact were presented.

A stakeholder meeting on the climate impacts of transport emissions will take place in Brussels, Belgium, on 24 June 2010. Results from two European projects will be presented: The EC funded Integrated Project QUANTIFY (http://ip-quantify.eu) quantified the impact of transport on the composition of the atmosphere and on climate. The Specific Support Action ATTICA (http://ssa-attica.eu) produced an assessment report of the impact of the transport modes (aviation, shipping, land transport) on atmosphere and climate. ECATS researchers working on climate impact of aviation contributed to these processes and will give presentations at the meeting.

Brussels, BE, 10-11 Feb 2010:

During a successful Review Meeting in February 2010 in Brussels approval was given by ECATS Review Panel for an extension of project duration of Network of Excellence ECATS until Jan 2012. Main scope of final workprogramme is to help to make aviation more sustainable and to develop durable means of collaboration.
