After a two-year hiatus, 400 of Europe’s leading researchers in the air traffic management (ATM) and aviation domains gathered in Budapest for the SESAR Innovation Days to take stock and exchange on a wide variety of topics, from artificial intelligence and energy-efficient flying to meteorology and drone traffic management. Results stemming from the showcased research have the potential to push the boundaries of ATM, making it smarter and more sustainable in the coming years, the participants heard.
Now in its twelfth edition, the SESAR Innovation Days, a flagship event in the aviation research calendar, showcased some of the breakthrough concepts from the SESAR 3 Joint Undertaking’s exploratory research portfolio, as well as novel outcomes from the broader ATM research community.
Altogether, the conference brought together 400 participants, and featured some 37 posters and 51 papers, covering data-driven methods for safety and resilience prediction, climate-optimised trajectories, drone traffic management, airport operations, among other research areas. Special plenary sessions looked at the important topics of U-space, the enabling framework for drone integration, the environment and artificial intelligence.
Much of the research presented during the conference stems from the 41 exploratory research projects and the SESAR knowledge transfer network, Engage, which ran from 2020 to 2022, bringing together academic and industry partners, such as universities, SMEs, research centres, airlines, manufacturers, and air navigation service providers from across the European Union and EU Associated Countries.
