Engage 2’s core objective is to foster cross-fertilization of knowledge by integrating insights from various disciplines and promoting innovative, forward-thinking research within the ATM domain. A significant focus is the advancement of the ATM concepts roadmap, which will be a central feature of the newly enhanced Wiki. This collaborative resource is intended to bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and the practical challenges faced by SESAR, thereby strengthening the ties within the aviation community.
The project also aims to engage students by helping them identify opportunities in ATM-related studies and investigating the future skills needed in this sector. By attracting students to the ATM field, Engage 2 seeks to ensure a steady entry of new talent. Additionally, the project promotes a triple-helix collaboration model, bringing together academia, industry, and policymakers to work towards shared goals in the ATM field.
Over its four-year duration, Engage 2 will implement more than 30 activities designed to promote collaboration within the aviation community. These activities include two hackathons, three open days, and three summer schools, all aimed at fostering a dynamic and interactive learning environment. Additionally, the project is developing a Matchmaking app to facilitate the creation of profiles and the exploration of joint opportunities by students, universities and companies.
By addressing the identified needs and challenges in the ATM sector, Engage 2 is expected to have a significant impact. It will inspire and educate future aviation professionals, enhance the operational implementation of research findings and ultimately contribute to the evolution of air traffic management in the digital age. This comprehensive approach ensures that the project's outcomes will be both substantial and far-reaching, benefiting the entire aviation community.
