The SESAR 3 JU and partners showcased the very best of the SESAR 2020 project outcomes and results at Airspace World (8-10 March 2023 in Geneva).

SESAR Theatre 4 gathered a vast range of stakeholders engaged in SESAR innovation to:

  • Learn about the SESAR 3 JU R&D done to date, the results, benefits and more specifically about those solutions ready for implementation.
  • Find out about regulatory and standardisation activities underway to support the implementation of SESAR Solutions.
  • Hear from industry stakeholders who are already implementing SESAR Solutions; learn about their real-life experiences and how SESAR innovation is benefiting their day-to-day operations.
  • Attend the Digital European Sky awards and celebrate the SESAR projects that are delivering best-in-class innovation!

Find hereafter the persentations delivered during the three days of the conference:
