Aeronautics Skills and Innovation are spread Europe-wide
Therefore it is crucial
to provide the opportunities that more and more technology suppliers throughout all Member States are getting involved in the aeronautics activities, and
to widen the participation from Countries with less developed aeronautics industries, the new
Member States and the Candidate Countries

Tapping the Untapped Potential
• Are the existing resources of technology and innovation that Universities and SME can contribute sufficiently exploited to increase Europe’s competitiveness in aeronautics ?
Do not forget:
In Member States with less developed aeronautics industry, Universities and SME are key players in Aeronautics.

The Role of Universities in the Technology Supply Chain
Universities should:
educate and supply timely qualified engineers for the aviation sector
perform fundamental and applied research
contribute to the long term strategic advantage of the European Aeronautics industry over their
competitors through education and research

Constrains for Universities
• Signs that Universities have difficulties to recruit enough young people to study aeronautics
(especially for higher degrees)
but aeronautics attracts usually high level students.
• Universities have not enjoyed sufficient financial support

Profile of a Future Aeronautics Engineer
Skills required of a young engineer:
Understanding a wide range of fundamental sciences
Sufficient knowledge of key aeronautics disciplines
Ability of performing scientific work
Team working
International experience

Universities in Europe are different
The education provided by the different Universities varies,however it is essential
• to guarantee the level of the education obtained at an university
• to maintain diversity and complementarity of education as a strength of Europe • to facilitate exchange of students and scientists between Europe’s universities

Exploiting the Universities’ Potential
Universities can provide education and training:
i. Short time research positions for professors and doctoral students to industry and research establishments
i. Life-long learning
i. Student training projects in industry
i. Creation of Centres of Excellence for different application areas or disciplines

The Important Role of Universities
Universities represent the “Third Ring” in the European Aeronautics Technology Supply Chain together with the Aeronautics Industry and the Research Establishments

Poor Exploitation of Europe’s University Potential
The use of the research potential of the European universities is insufficient because of :
fragmented approach and lack of collaboration
wide geographical distribution
highly competitive environment
lack of communication and insufficient information flow
industry is mostly interested to face their day to day practical problems by their own
lack on collective views and collective voice.

Participation of Universities in F.P.6
Essential involvement of Universities is necessary in
• Integrated Projects (IP),
• Networks of Excellence (NoE)
• Coordinated Actions (CA)
and, in particularly, in
• Specific Targeted Research Projects (STREP)
There should be academic-driven up-stream research projects, complementary to industry-driven projects in F.P.6

The Role of SME in the Aeronautics Technology Supply Chain
The Technology Supply Chain in Aeronautics is unthinkable without the Small and Medium
Enterprises (SME)
There are about 7000 SME having a significant involvement in the supply chain of
Europe’s aerospace production

Aeronautics SME in Community Research Programmes
• Aeronautics SME have been and are involved in Community Research Programmes, but at a limited scale
• Accompanying Measures of the Fifth Framework Programme have created a step forward but not a breakthrough
• The European Union aims to allocate 15% of the total financial resources assigned to SME within F.P.6
• Special measures for SME are foreseen in F.P.6
