Set against the backdrop of Oslo on 28–29 May, this event promises to deal with challenging technological shifts in modern aerospace research. Beyond the technical exchange, this workshop serves as a strategic milestone to strengthen EASN’s footprint in Norway and foster deeper Nordic-European research synergies.
Key Topics
The workshop is structured to address two pillars of the future aerospace landscape:
Day 1 (May 28) Hydrogen and Sustainability
Day 2 (May 29) Additive Manufacturing Challenges in Aerospace
(in close collaboration with the AM2C3 Twinning Project, coordinated by the University of Cyprus)
