Following the 1st Stakeholder Feedback Event held in Brussels in December 2024, the AREANA (Aviation Research Ecosystem Advanced Novel Approach) Synergies work package (WP1), is now focusing on preparing the implementation of the planned measures. In order to stay in contact with the national funding bodies, the AREANA ADVISORY and SUPPORT GROUP (AASG) was launched on February 24, 2025.

The aim of the AASG is, in the first step, to accompany the creation of a multinational cooperation agreement in which interested countries declare their willingness to cooperate in aviation research and define suitable joint measures for this purpose. 

The group will start with representatives from Germany, Malta, Austria, Romania, Spain, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Additional members are welcome and can register their interest at hartwig.hagena@dlr.de to receive further information.

While the initial approach is currently aimed at cooperation between funding bodies and project management organizations at national level, the planned cooperation agreement should also be open to corresponding institutions at regional and European level by the second half of the year at the latest.
