12th EASN International Conference on Innovation in Aviation & Space for Opening New Horizons

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is cooperating with the 12^th EASN International Conference on "Innovation in Aviation & Space for opening New Horizons", which will be held by EASN Association and the Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC), and will take place in Barcelona, Spain from the 18^th to 21^st of October 2022.

Similar to its predecessors, the 12^th EASN International Conference on "Innovation in Aviation & Space for Opening New Horizons" will include a number of plenary talks by distinguished personalities of the European aviation and space sectors from the academic, industry, and research communities, as well as policy-makers. It will also include thematic sessions, along with technical workshops, where innovative ideas, breakthrough concepts, and disruptive technologies will be presented and discussed with the aim of establishing new research partnerships and possible synergies.

Furthermore, the conference is expected to be a major European dissemination event of aviation- and space-related research, as it will provide a forum for presenting the activities and accomplishments of EU-funded projects, discussing current trends and future needs, and attempting to identify possible collaborations with each other. Additionally, a number of policy development projects will also take to the floor to present the strategic priorities of the European aviation sector.   

Authors of outstanding papers related to the topic of aviation and space are invited to submit extended versions of their work to this Special Issue for publication.

We are looking forward to welcoming you to Barcelona and the 2022 EASN International Conference, and invite submissions of extended conference papers to this Special Issue. We hope that the conference will be another successful, in-person gathering of the EASN Association in these challenging times.
