Clean aviation forum

During the two-day Forum, we will showcase innovative research powered by Clean Sky, and discuss the ambitions of the new Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking. We will paint a picture of how the future of aviation will look, and how we can reimagine the industry to achieve climate-neutrality by 2050. The Forum will bring together European industry leaders, research centres, SMEs, and universities, as well as representatives of the European Commission, the Parliament, and the Member States.

Key themes

  • 2022 is an exciting and hopeful year – as we emerge from the pandemic, the aviation sector is taking off once more.
  • The EU and the whole aeronautics sector have put measures in place for a green recovery – and we need to harness the current wave of enthusiasm for maximum impact.
  • We need to act fast – there’s no time to waste, target dates are drawing closer by the day.
  • This is perfect timing for the launch of Clean Aviation and the First Call – the whole aeronautics sector is on board this flight to climate-neutrality!
  • COP26 reemphasised that climate-neutral aviation is not just a ‘nice to have’ – it is a ‘NEED to have’. It is crucial for the survival of our sector and key to protecting our planet, to leave a clean and healthy world for future generations.
  • Clean Aviation is a new and focused programme, building on the blocks that were already created in Clean Sky 1 and Clean Sky 2, while exploring synergies with other EU, national and private aviation research programmes.

Join us for two days of re-imagining the clean aviation of the future!
