Abstract Submission deadline is 3rd August 2015. For more details, click here.
The 5th EASN International Workshop aims, like its acclaimed annual predecessors, to offer a forum for discussion and exchange of information about state-of-the-art research and development activities, this year in the field of Aerostructures. The goal is to share high quality, current achievements and new upstream ideas for future research, from running or recently completed European and International research activities in Aeronautics and Air Transport.
In that frame, we are pleased to announce that the Abstract Submission deadline has been extended to June 15th, 2015. Selected papers will be published following peer review in a special issue of the International Journal of Structural Integrity (IJSI) of Emerald Group Publishing.
Registration is necessary in order to participate. To ensure that you will be a part of the event, please register and take advantage of the early bird registration fees which are offered at a discounted rate until June 15th, 2015!
Up to now, more than 15 ongoing Aerostructures related research projects have already confirmed their participation, most of them with dedicated project sessions. In this respect, the 5th EASN International Workshop is expected to foster the cooperation and interaction between them on a multidisciplinary basis serving as a forum to exchange novel and innovative ideas for future research.
For more information, see the workshop leaflet.
The structure of the event will emphasize into the enhancement of synergies between researchers through interactive sessions.
As such, the 5th EASN Workshop presents an excellent opportunity for discussing, networking and creating synergies for future collaborations on a bilateral basis or in the frame of multilateral projects. To get more information on the event, please contact us at workshop@easn.net.
The Higher Education Academy is holding an Enhancement Event for academics in Higher Education in Cardiff on 2nd July. There are a number of streams to the day including a New-to-teaching qualitative research methods & a New-to-teaching in laboratory-based subjects.
Engineering is a priority area for the Welsh Government and we feel that it would be appropriate to dedicate a full day workshop/workshops to the discipline as part of the Enhancement Event. Current thinking is that there will be a morning session on Excellence in Engineering Teaching and then look at areas specific to the Welsh agenda in the afternoon, however suggestions are invited regarding the draft programme.
If you feel you would like to contribute to the workshops please contact Karen Fraser (Consultant in Academic Practice, Innovative Pedagogies) at karen.fraser@heacademy.ac.uk to discuss your ideas.

From 7-11 September 2015 the Council of European Aerospace Societies (CEAS) will organize its fifth Air and Space Conference. CEAS represents 12 European Aerospace Societies with in total about 35.000 individual members. The theme of the 5th CEAS Air and Space Conference is “Challenges in European Aerospace”.
This latest in the Academy’s Innovation in… series of events will showcase a selection of some of the most recent advances in autonomous systems. It will focus on the potential of autonomous systems to have a transformative impact on industry and business, as well as considering the evolving relationship between people and technology.
Autonomy is at the core of modern complex systems as, increasingly, these systems are required top decide for themselves what to do and when to do it. Autonomy now extends beyond traditional robotic areas, covering autonomous vehicles, sensor networks and machine learning. With increasing growth opportunities available, the UK’s Robotics and Autonomous System (RAS) Special Interest Group suggested that the UK has potential to achieve a 10% share of a world market estimated to be worth £70bn by 2020. Beyond this, the global economic value of RAS in broader sectors is estimated at between $1.9 and $6.4 trillion a year by 2025.

The Engineering Professors’ Council Annual Congress 2015 took place at the University of Salford’s MediaCity Campus on 14/15 April 2015 with the theme: Skills for Impact.
The Royal Aeronautical Society’s Education and Skills annual Spring seminar will take place on Monday 23 March at our London HQ, No.4 Hamilton Place, London W1J 7BQ.
Themed, “Where are we now? A pre-election update on the aerospace and aviation skills landscape”, the seminar will look at the skills for aerospace and aviation as the UK faces a General Election. Chaired by Jenny Body, the seminar will provide an update on the Society’s current actions in this field and share the work of related groups AGP and DGP. Discussion will include the broad spectrum of aerospace and defence, MRO and aviation, providing an opportunity for delegates to share views on where key skills programmes have got to and what should be the focus in the months following the election. We are particularly keen to ensure views of academics and AAU members are shared with employers at the event.
The Education and Skills Spring Seminar will feature speakers from:
– Aerospace Growth Partnership (AGP)
– Defence Growth Partnership (DGP)
– Royal Aeronautical Society.
Timings
13:30 Registration – Tea/Coffee
14:00 Presentations
15:00 Discussion
15:30 Networking Tea/Coffee
Registration
The Education and Skills Spring Seminar is free to attend and will provide both an excellent networking opportunity but, most importantly, gives you the chance to share your views.
