LEITAT @ The Fourth SESAR Innovation Days

Since the outset SESAR has supported long-term and innovative research through  Work Package E. Research activities that are not part of ‘mainstream’ SESAR development work packages have been funded with more than 75 organisations, universities and research centres benefiting.  WP-E has operated through Research Networks, Research Projects and a PhD Programme. Two SESAR Research Networks have been established to date: ComplexWorld – Mastering Complex Systems Safely, and HALA! – Higher Automation Levels in ATM.  Preparations are now underway to increase investment in exploratory research through the new SESAR2020 programme.
