Join us for our upcoming EUROCONTROL Stakeholder Forum strategic webinar, “No one left behind: Building the next generation in air traffic management”, taking place on 17 June 2025, from 14:00 to 15:00 CEST.
As the aviation sector undergoes profound transformation, the need to attract, develop and retain a future-ready workforce has never been more urgent. Ensuring that the next generation of professionals is inclusive, skilled and resilient is essential for the long-term sustainability and resilience of air traffic management (ATM).
This webinar brings together leading voices from across the aviation industry to examine the critical workforce challenges we face — and to share practical strategies for ensuring no one is left behind in the journey toward a more diverse and future-focused ATM sector.
