Engage 2: the new project to strengthen SESAR Digital Academy and Aviation Workforce Development
Rome – 16th June 2023 – The European project Engage 2 has just kicked off in Rome on June 13th and 14th. Building upon the achievements of its predecessor, the Engage Knowledge Transfer Network (KTN), it aims to support the SESAR 3 Joint Undertaking (S3JU) and contribute to the development and implementation of the SESAR Digital Academy (SDA).
The kick-off meeting in Rome set the stage for the consortium members to commence their collaborative efforts and solidify their commitment to advancing the aviation industry. Engage 2 aims to inspire, educate, and transform the next generation of aviation professionals, ensuring they possess the necessary skills to thrive in the digital era. By forging strong alliances between research and operational implementation, Engage 2 will undoubtedly contribute to the evolution of the SESAR Digital Academy and shape the future of air traffic management.
The SESAR Digital Academy, established by the SESAR 2020 Joint Undertaking, seeks to equip the next generation of aviation professionals in preparation for the digital economy. Engage 2 will play a vital role in this mission, leveraging the success of Engage KTN’s previous 4.5 years of work, while also welcoming new strategic partners to further enhance its capabilities.
Engage 2 will foster cross-fertilization of knowledge by drawing from other disciplines and encouraging innovative, future-oriented, and unconventional research within the domain of ATM. A central focus will be the further development of the ATM concepts roadmap, which will serve as a core element of the Engage wiki—a valuable resource for the aviation community. This collaborative effort will strengthen the ties between cutting-edge research and the operational challenges faced by SESAR.
