in Brussels
Presentations are now available for you to download
13 December 2007 - Brussels, Belgium – Close to 200 aeronautics professionals attended the AeroSME and the Industry Management Groups – ASD-IMG4, workshop titled “Industry's Approach to the 2nd Aeronautics Call”. This is the fifth in a series of workshops assisting aeronautics professionals engaging with the European Commission’s premier research programme.
The workshop presented outcomes of the 1st call of FP7 and first hand information on the six large collaborative research proposals to be submitted in the 2nd Aeronautics call of the 7th Framework Programme and provided a unique platform to involve potential SME partners.
In order to ensure maximum SME participation in the workshop, the organisers stressed interactivity, throughout the day, which meant that nearly 50 individual meetings were organised between the proposal coordinators and SMEs presenting their technical contribution as potential partners.
This is the fifth event developed around the EU research programmes, AeroSME and IMG4 having organised a workshop prior to each call for proposals since the 6th Framework Programme, with approximately 130 participants at each workshop. The vast majority of participants were European SME’s, with many coming from the new member states.
The Aeronautics SMEs are a vibrant community, it has been estimated that they make up 9% of the European aerospace industry. European aeronautical SMEs are also conscious of the fact that research and development is paramount for their future survival. Of their total turnover, they invest 12% in research annually.
