Activities

In order to achieve its objectives, the Academy leads and animates reflections on Air and Space topics, whether of general interest or strategy, or motivated by current events, and this at the request of an authority or on its own initiative. The Academy can also occasionally provide institutions or industrialists with food for thought in their field of interest.

Multi-disciplinary studies are carried out by sections and commissions: they help to identify key issues and often lead to the organization of events and the publication of reports, opinions and other works.

The events organized provide an opportunity to compare the points of view of the various players involved in a subject.

These meetings are also an opportunity to maintain close and friendly relations with other institutions and companies in the aerospace field.

Lectures

More than 20 annual conferences, covering all aerospace topics, are held all over Europe: Bordeaux, Bremen, Brussels, Madrid, Paris, Rome, Toulouse, etc.

Sessions

They bring together all the academicians 5 times a year, and enable them to reflect together on important issues. The last meeting of the year is a formal session in Toulouse.

Conferences and forums
