Recent Initiatives

Recent initiatives undertaken by the Council are:

to continuous update the Groups of Responsables (GoR's) 3-5 years development programme on potentially relevant topics for research within GARTEUR
closer monitoring of national aeronautical R&T programmes within GARTEUR member states in order to better coordinate GARTEUR R&T with national needs
to provide national strategy documents on aeronautics as available on the GARTEUR website
to continue supporting the EU funded aeronautics ERA-Net (AirTN) which has been initiated by GARTEUR to step up co-operation and co-ordination of aeronautics research at EU level
to pursue closer contacts with industry in civil and defence environments in order to enhance participation of industry at GoR level in the GARTEUR research programmes
to explore possibilities for improved communication and sharing of information with other coordinated aeronautics R&T environments, e.g. EU Frame Work Programme Aeronautics, EDA - European Defence Agency (including the European Technology Acquisition Programme - ETAP), NATO/RTO-Research and Technology Organisation
to improve presence at international fora and aeronautical events, e.g. at Aerodays, CEAS and ICAS
