Academia

EASN. The EASN Association is an open, unique European platform aiming to the advancement of the aeronautics sciences and technologies through structuring, supporting and upgrading the research activities of the
European Aeronautics Universities

www.vki.ac.be
Ten or twelve one-week lecture series on advanced topics in fluid dynamics are organized each year at the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics. In-house lecturers are supplemented by the presence of a large number of invited international experts. The subjects chosen for the courses cover a wide spectrum of interests and are designed to benefit the research worker as well as the practicing engineer.

European Partner Associations

Eucass fosters the rapid dissemination of innovation for the benefit of aeronautics and space. It seeks and maintains partnerships with other European associations covering disciplines of aerospace interest.

• E-CAERO.
  In the green paper 'The European Research Area: New perspectives' the European Commission recognizes that a fragmentation of the ERA still exists that prevents Europe from fulfilling its research and innovation potential. In particular, effective knowledge sharing should be achieved at European level.
  
  In the field of aeronautics and air transport, there are many initiatives at European level undertaking the dissemination of scientific knowledge in the different relevant disciplines. Different associations are active with different formats of events such as large conferences, moderate size thematic conferences, symposia, workshops, short courses, etc. In addition to presentations in events, the knowledge is further disseminated under the form of journal publications, proceedings, etc. More and more publications are now electronic which gives them a large potential for an easy dissemination and allow the use of electronic search facilities.
  
  For this reason, six organizations active in this field (ECCOMAS, the coordinator, CEAS, ERCOFTAC, EUCASS, EUROMECH and EUROTURBO) have decided to unify forces in order to increase their effectiveness and materialize their objectives better, and address the same purpose to the European Commission by jointly submitting this proposal. They give themselves the ambitious goal of holding a European aeronautic/aerospace conference at the end of the programme in 2011.
• ERCOFTAC is a scientific association of research, education and industry groups in the technology of flow, turbulence and combustion. It is organised around 2 pillars :
  - the Pilot Centres, that coordinate the research in Flow, Turbulence, and Combustion on a regional or national scale,
  - the Special Interest Groups, that stimulate European-wide research efforts on specific topics in flow, turbulence and combustion.
• EUROMECH

• ECCOMAS

• European Physical Society

• EUROTURBO is a primary driver for technology transfer across Europe in the field of turbomachinery through the presentation of the latest developments and best practices. It also intends to enhance cross-fertilization among senior scientists working at the edge of turbomachinery technology, in the attempt to further enhance the actual designs and concepts, and all users who intend to benefit from those progresses. Its conferences are also seen as an integrating element between the Western and Eastern European countries and as an additional mean to foster collaboration in turbomachinery research at a European level.
