Announcing EUCASS 2015 and 5th CEAS Conferences

EUCASS 2015

The 6th EUROPEAN CONFERENCE FOR AERONAUTICS AND SPACE SCIENCES will take place on 29 June-3 July 2015 Kraków, Poland, in the brand new Conference Center ICE. For information follow the site www.2015.eucass.eu (under construction).

Note that informative abstracts of at least one full page can be uploaded beginning September 15, 2014 until December 15, 2014. Instructions will be available at the conference website.

If abstracts are accepted, authors will be invited to prepare a full 10-15 page paper and submit it before the absolute deadline of June 15, 2015.

Papers submitted in due time will be published with DOI in the EUCASS printed series.

5th CEAS Conference

If you are unable to attend the Eucass conference, you'll have another opportunity to meet European colleagues at the 5th CEAS Air & Space conference on Challenges in European aerospace, at Delft University of Technology, 7-11 September, 2015 (The Netherlands).

For more information, visit www.ceas2015.org.

Discussions in view of harmonising the two conferences are underway.


EUCASS has a new president

Jean-Pierre Taran has resigned his post as President at the recent General Assembly of the association.

He is succeeded by Walter Zinner (Airbus Defence and Space), founding member of Eucass and co-Chair of the last conference in Munich.

We thank Jean-Pierre for all his past efforts and we wish best of luck to Walter.
