A three-day conference on the future of European aviation has begun in Warsaw. Aerodays 2025 is attended by decision-makers and international aviation experts representing industry and science. This is the largest event dedicated to aviation, organized for the first time in Poland.
Aerodays, or European Aeronautics Days, is an event organized under the auspices of the Polish Presidency of the Council of the European Union. Its organizer is the Łukasiewicz – Institute of Aviation, one of the oldest European research institutes, operating continuously since 1926. The European Commission has entrusted the organization of this important event for the aviation industry to the Polish institute.
“The aviation industry is at a turning point, facing three areas of challenges: environmental, technological and those resulting from the transformation of management processes and production organization. The extent to which we will use the market advantages inherent in the European aviation sector depends on the decisions taken today in the area of R&D financing and new investments, ensuring strategic autonomy, new flexible regulations and purchasing policy. It is important that these decisions realistically support the development of the aviation sector and include the perspective of all stakeholders,” says acting director of the Łukasiewicz – Institute of Aviation, Dr. Eng. Sylwester Wyka.
The future of European aviation
During the three days of Aerodays, aviation industry experts will discuss the trends and challenges of the European aviation industry. Another important topic of discussion will be the new framework program, which aims to adapt research to the needs of industry, EU policy and global trends. The European aviation industry is facing many challenges, such as decarbonization and the development of artificial intelligence. All this in the face of growing competition for the European aviation sector and a changing geopolitical situation.
Representatives of the most important aviation companies, research institutions and European agencies take part in discussion on the future of aviation. They will participate in 7 plenary sessions and 20 side sessions. The Aerodays will showcase the results of innovative R&D projects and breakthrough aviation technologies and their applications.
Global companies such as GE Aerospace, Safran, Honeywell, Rolls Royce, RTX – Collins, Pratt&Whitney, Raython, as well as representatives of Ukrainian aerospace business, European research institutes and institutes of the Łukasiewicz Research Network will be present at the expo organized as part of the conference.
The event is being held in Warsaw and will run until May 9. For more information, visit www.aerodays2025.eu.
