Aviation Twin Transition Cluster

a European initiative for a sustainable future

Join the Aviation Twin Transition Cluster

The REFMAP and ImAFUSA projects have joined forces to drive climate neutrality and digital transformation in aviation, forming the Aviation Twin Transition Cluster.

​

“If you are part of an EU-funded project focused on new digital aviation technologies, business models, or services for aircraft, we invite you to collaborate with us!”

​

We are seeking collaboration in various areas, including joint promotional and dissemination efforts, sharing expertise and technical innovations, and co-organising workshops and events.

​

We aim to leverage synergies with other EU initiatives to create European digital platforms that provide insights and analytics for citizens, businesses, and policymakers.

​

Funded by the European Commission, members of the Aviation Twin Transition Cluster are working to develop and demonstrate new technologies that further digitalise and automate the European aviation sector. Our vision is to make aviation greener, more circular, and globally competitive.

​

Our goals are:

  • To enable new European business models and products with minimal environmental impact and opportunities for European competitiveness.

  • To transform digital aviation and space technologies as well as Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).

  • To enable new services with pronounced societal impact for intermodal and multimodal transport, search and rescue operations, fast response to natural disasters, freight, firefighting, high altitude earth data-services, agriculture and forestry.

  • To leverage new aviation products and services that exploit Artificial Intelligence and have pronounced impact to productivity, efficiency, automation and cost reduction.

  • To minimise the risks risks posed by emerging threats to aviation such as cybersecurity, COVID-19, extreme weather conditions (e.g. temperature change, wind patterns). 

  • To leverage technologies that address applications in difficult to access areas, including the open sea emergency response, avalanches, landslides and floods are within the scope of the topic.

  • To exploit synergies with aviation, space and defence.

The Cluster will operate via Working Groups in which researchers, policy makers and practitioners from the industry can participate thus fostering interdisciplinary discussion to investigate any topic of their choice. The Aviation Twin Transition Cluster offers an inclusive, pan-European environment for individuals of all levels of seniority to grow their professional research networks and boost their careers, while creating networking opportunities and a platform to discuss ideas and complex problems in a targeted way, across a large geographical area.

TRAINING

EVENTS
RESOURCES
COMPETENCES
The Aviation Twin Transition Cluster will:
  • act as a hub for information exchange and training

  • promotes networking among its members and strengthen idea exchange by developing best practices

  • engage in communication campaign aiming at raising awareness on research outcomes that can make aviation greener and more digital

  • serve as a conduit to requisite expertise or relevant projects, whether at the national, European, or international level.

Our projects
