Soaring to new heights
ECHO Workshop

As part of the ECHO (European Concept of Higher Airspace Operations) project, EUROCONTROL organised its third and final workshop on 6-7 December 2022, at its Brussels Headquarters.

About our workshop

This public workshop aimed to bring together the wide European Higher Airspace Operations Stakeholder community to:

  • Recap on outcomes of previous 2 ECHO Workshops;
  • Create awareness of developments in Space Traffic Management;
  • Create awareness on regulatory developments;
  • Present/obtain final feedback on draft ConOps;
  • Validate the final ConOps.

The ECHO project partners provided the main inputs for the workshop, as follows:

  • Scene setting (ECHO in context);
  • Use cases;
  • Draft Final ConOps document
    (distributed to registered participants in advance of the workshop).
