The EUROCONTROL Experimental Centre (EEC) is a participant in the Episode 3 project, which is a component of the European Commission's 6th Framework programme.

The aim of Episode 3 is to explore key aspects of the SESAR concept to provide advice to the SESAR JU on research methodologies appropriate for SESAR and to highlight areas of the concept where there is significant technical or operational debate.
Episode 3 takes an integrated approach to SESAR validation, focusing on the value it can provide to the SESAR development phase. Episode 3 has been focused to propose a consistent work programme ending in summer 2009, to avoid the complexity of managing a SESAR validation programme in parallel with SESAR JU activities.
Episode 3 brings together key multi-discipline stakeholders in the European ATM system including many organisations participating in SESAR and covering all aspects of the system from strategic and tactical planning through to air traffic control and airport operations.
The Episode 3 assessment of the SESAR concept focuses on the 2020 time frame, looking at improvements implemented within Implementation Package 2 (IP2). Technology assessments are however focusing on a shorter term time frame, (Capability Level 2 of IP2).
The Episode 3 recommendations address:
- the strategy for integrated validation,
- the documentation to support industrialisation,
- safety and environmental issues, and
- the fine tuning of the performance framework to support ECAC-wide assessments.
