Special Feature: The Future of Aviation: The Only Way is Up

Summary:

The seven projects featured in this month’s special feature highlight how the aviation industry can and will evolve over the coming years, guided by excellent EU-funded research and in spite of the pandemic that effectively brought the industry to a grinding halt in 2020.  Life After reintroduces you to VRespect.Me, a project that has utilised cutting-edge Virtual Reality technology to combat domestic violence and catches-up with them to see how they have progressed since the end of their EU-funded phase and promoted their solution further.  Project of the Month, celebrates an EU-funded researcher who undertook an expedition into the Colombian Amazon and unearthed the world’s largest collection of prehistoric art, since dubbed the ‘Sistene Chapel of the ancients’.  And, finally, EU Agenda looks at the latest upcoming digital and in-person events.
