It is a pleasure to introduce our readers to the 6th EASN International Conference on Innovation in European Aeronautics Research. This conference, whose website is reachable at the address easnconference.eu, will take place October 18 – 21 2016 at Porto, Portugal. The 2016 EASN Conference will be a flagship event in dissemination of aeronautics research activities and its goal is to share high quality, current achievements and new upstream research ideas.

The EASN Association

The long-term goal of establishing EASN was to built up an open, unique European platform in order to structure, support and upgrade the research activities of the European Aeronautics Universities, as well as to facilitate them to respond to their key role within the European Aeronautical research Community in incubating new knowledge and breakthrough technologies. The European Aeronautics Science Network principles have obtained the support of the commission thanks to two funded Specific Support Actions.

On 06.05.2008, the EASN Association was officially established which is:

- An International association based in Brussels
- Self funded and self sustainable
- Coordinated and run by a board of directors which is elected by the General Assembly for a 3 year term

Eucass wishes a successful conference to our colleagues at EASN.
