The conference on the U-space concept of operations (ConOps) as well as the results from SESAR Joint Undertaking's portfolio of exploratory research and demonstrations took place on 30 September - 1 October in Brussels. The event has been structured as follows:

Day one: Partners in the SESAR U-space CORUS ConOps presented the ConOps document that will be finalised end of September. Read about the CORUS project.
The Concept of Operations for European UTM Systems (CORUS) project has spent two years developing the ConOps in consultation with a broad stakeholder community. The third and final iteration is now ready for release. The ConOps was presented over the day, focusing on different aspects and explaining what is in the ConOps, and why.

Day two: Partners from the SESAR Joint Undertaking's portfolio of U-space exploratory research and demonstrations presented the results of their flight trials and testing through pitches and a dedicated exhibition. Read about the U-space projects.
