May

Dear EUROAVIAns,?

May has been a month full of pivotal events for EUROAVIA, so let us guide you through the activities of this bustling month!?

?First, we're delighted to announce that EUROAVIA is partnering with ILA Berlin, one of the world's premier aerospace trade fairs that will take place from the 5th to the 9th of June! ILA Berlin has been at the forefront of aerospace innovation since 1909, showcasing the latest in aviation, space, defence, and sustainability. This event brings together brilliant minds from around the globe including industry leaders, policymakers, and academics. Our sponsorship with ILA Berlin will provide incredible opportunities for our members to connect, learn and innovate. We can't wait to see the amazing advancements and collaborations that will come from this!?

Secondly, on the 22nd of May, our treasurer Amanda Roman Navarro attended the Space Meetings Veneto, a specialized event designed to foster connections and collaborations within the space sector over three days through workshops, seminars, and exhibitions. Within the panels at the event, the "DIALOGUE FOR INNOVATION 4: #GREENSPACE: Space Technologies to Support the Green Transition in Veneto" one featured an engaging discussion on the initiatives being undertaken by companies and various entities to promote the green transition. As EUROAVIA, we had the opportunity to represent students' perspectives on this important topic, highlighting how they are affecting our professional development, and the impact we can have as future employees in the sector. Some key conclusions from the panel emphasized that sustainability requires collaborative efforts toward a common objective.?

Moreover, PACE TXT, in collaboration with EUROAVIA, hosted the XR Student Competition, a challenge where students develop a solution for aircraft crew trainings in an Extended Reality environment. For this to be accomplished, virtual reality headsets and PACE‘s own software WEAVR were provided to all participants. The challenge concluded on the PACEdays held on the 24th of April 2024 in Berlin, where the two finalists’ teams had the chance to present their work at the conference. The team awarded for the best project was Wings of Icarus from AS Forlì Bologna, with team captain Daniele Cantini, Gianluca D‘Agostini, and Hugo Santiago Mengoa Paredes. The winner for the best presentation was the team FAWKES from AM Cairo, composed by Karim Elthannikhy, Alia Elhalawani, and Roba Elsahahatthe. Congratulations to both teams for their amazing performance and PACE TXT for?the?experience!?

And… The list goes on! During the previous week, one of our members had the honour and the opportunity to represent EUROAVIA in a Project Management Training held by none other than the Council of Europe. During this training, Erika Aucelli, a European Grants Working Group member, was invited to the European Youth Center in Strasburg to learn more about managing a project that the EYF, European Youth Foundation, and other European grants will cofound. We had the opportunity to exchange tools and receive advice from 34 other more experienced organizations, work with the youth deaf community, and meet the representatives of each Council of Europe department. Everything was truly inspiring. Presenting our beautiful organization to the CoE Head of the Youth Department, Tobias Flessenkemper, was an incredible and unbelievable experience that we hope will open many doors for us in the future!?

Also, don’t forget about Future and Beyond! Future and Beyond is a 4-day online event that will take place from the 24th to 27th of June. The event is designed to provide a platform for students and companies to gather, share invaluable insights and experiences, and explore the latest advancements within the industry. Our program includes training sessions, workshops, engaging panel discussions, and guest speakers. You will also have the opportunity to participate in Business-to-Student meetings with the various companies attending the event. This event offers a platform for direct interaction, networking, and potential career opportunities.??
