The long-term goal of establishing EASN was to built up an open, unique European platform in order to network the Academia and

l t t t d d th h ti iti f thalso structure, support and upgrade the research activities of the European Aeronautics Universities so as to facilitate them to

respond to their key role in realizing the European Research Arearespond to their key role in realizing the European Research Area.

The European Aeronautics Science Network principles had obtained the support of the commission thanks to two funded Specific

Support Actions (SSAs) with durations from 01.01.2002 up to 30 06 2005 d f 01 10 2006 t 31 12 200830.06.2005 and from 01.10.2006 up to 31.12.2008.

On 06.05.2008, the EASN Association was founded by 22 founding On 06.05.2008, the EASN Association was founded by 22 founding members and the support of the Commission and several University

professors throughout Europe.

Main features of the EASN Association:

• Self funded and self sustainable • International association• Coordinated and run by a board of directors who are elected by the general assembly for a 3 year term. The position of a board member is unsalaried

The EASN Interest Groups are aimed at enhancing closer cooperationEASN Interest Groups

The EASN Interest Groups are aimed at enhancing closer cooperation between university institutes in research areas of specific scientific interest with regard to the European research programmes. The g p p ggeneral objectives of Interest Groups are:• Identify the capabilities existing across Europe • Facilitate communication between individuals and stimulate the transfer of know-how • Provide information on research opportunities • Promote awareness for scientific and technological aspects in aeronautics 21 Interest Groups covering a wide range of Scientific areas have


already been established

Membership and contacts

• Currently, EASN has 108 registered members (i di id l d i i i ) i(individuals and institutions) in 21 European countries including Russia.

• Though the EASN database, contacts to more than 10 000 individuals dealing with Aeronautics related10.000 individuals dealing with Aeronautics related research throughout Europe have been established.
