The Commission-sponsored Advisory Council for Aeronautics Research in Europe (ACARE) presented the findings of its first year of work in a comprehensive Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) on 12 November 2002 in Brussels. It is the first time in European Union history that government representatives, industry and research have jointly developed and endorsed a R&D plan for the aeronautics sector. The report addresses the challenges that aviation faces in its third generation, the age of sustainable growth. In spite of the events of 11 September 2001, air traffic will continue to grow. This will increase noise, emissions, congestion, delays and inconvenience. The Strategic Research Agenda aims to optimise research efforts to make air travel safer, cleaner, quieter, more affordable and more secure. The Agenda calls for an overall research investment of up to €100 billion over 20 years. It also makes a case for joint research projects with technology integration platforms for testing and adopting new technologies, large-scale research test-beds and technological incubators. |
