Impact Monitor Project opts to deliver a collaborative framework and toolbox for technology and policy assessment of the environmental, economic, and societal impacts of European aviation R&I. As the project approaches its completion on January 2025, significant dissemination activities 

ICAS Florence 2024

This year at the 34th Congress of The International Council of the Aeronautical Sciences (ICAS), the Impact Monitor project Coordinator, Prajwal Shivaprakasha (DLR Institute of System Architectures in Aeronautics) had the opportunity to present an insightful overview of the project and share the core methodology and principles driving our mission. The presentation was co-authored by Prajwal Shiva Prakasha (DLR), Patrick Ratei (DLR), Michel Van Eenige (NLR), Thierry Lefebvre (ONERA), Marko Alder (DLR), Atif Riaz (CU), Utkarsh Gupta (CU), Mario Solazzo (CIRA), Björn Nagel (DLR).

14th EASN International Conference: Technical presentation of the project's initial demonstration results

Aviation is hard and complex. There is a need for collaboration and feedback with external stakeholders, and such conferences enable such feedback opportunities and foster collaboration and innovation between multiple project clusters. Impact Monitor had an active role in this year’s EASN Conference in Thessaloniki with two engaging and insightful sessions:

1. Overview, Key Results, and Student Academy (German Aerospace Center (DLR), NLR - Netherlands Aerospace Centre, ONERA - The French Aerospace Lab)
2. Technical Details and Demonstration Results (German Aerospace Center (DLR), Cranfield University, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Transport & Mobility Leuven)

These sessions, moderated by Hugues FELIX from CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency, included insightful presentations highlighting the project’s innovative approaches to impact assessment in aviation and showcasing its initial demonstration results.

The dedicated sessions were completed by two additional presentations of Impact Monitor studies, an oral presentation by CIRA - Italian Aerospace Research Centre and a poster presentation by University of Stuttgart.

The presentations are available on the Impact Monitor website and the dedicated ZENODO Community.
