Research cooperation
Research & Development is not an activity that can be managed in isolation. Synergies are created through coordination with other bodies and institutions.
Under the auspices of SESAR long-term and innovative research (WP-E), EUROCONTROL manages Research Networks, a grouping of researchers from academia, industry or public research establishments that share common interests and expertise in a particular field of air traffic management (ATM).
In a continuous effort to further the science that is necessary to lead to a harmonised global ATM system, since 1997 the United States Federal Aviation Administration and EUROCONTROL have jointly organised an international conference series focused on ATM research and development. These conferences have been held in both Europe and the USA.
