Final AirTN NextGen Network Meeting
11 October 2016, Bratislava
The meeting was planned as a full day meeting in Bratislava, Slovakia on 11 October 2016. The primary objective of the meeting was to give an overview of the project results and to discuss on future cooperation possibilities. The meeting participants were representatives from: member states & associated countries, transport and education (or other relevant) ministries, funding agencies, ACARE national mirror groups, regional government and clusters in the field of aviation (e.g. aeronautics and air transport - AAT). Finally the AirTN Next Gen’s network was established, and during the AirTN Next Gen life the consortium collected a lot of information and mechanisms, as use of the structural funds to improve the aviation sector. The outlook for further progress on the Next AirTN programme could be the developement of an open platform for Member States interest and the development of a concept for a sustainable network (form, structure, funding…)
