Save the date: Aerospace Europe Conference 2020

Clean Sky is pleased to take part in the very first edition of the Aerospace Europe Conference (AEC2020, Feb. 25-28, 2020) to be held in Bordeaux, France and organized by 3AF (Association Aéronautique et Astronautique de France) and CEAS (Council of European Aerospace Societies) with the support of Clean Sky, SESAR (Single European Sky ATM Research project) and ESA (European Space Agency).

AEC2020 will provide an exceptional opportunity to exchange knowledge and results of current studies and to discuss directions for future research in the fields of aeronautics and space. Clean Sky will be present with an exhibition stand and speakers in the conference program. Sessions that should be of interest to the composites industry include:
