SESAR announces 2014 Young Scientist Award

The SESAR Joint Undertaking has announced its annual search for its Young Scientist Award.

The SESAR Young Scientist Award, now in its third year, aims to recognise young scientists with high potential contributing to any SESAR activity by supporting the scientific development of ‘air traffic management and enabling technologies’. The award also provides a mechanism for further personal development.

Candidates must have contributed to scientific achievements within a Bachelor’s or Master’s thesis or as part of an on-going PhD, and they must be a resident of an EU member state or a Seventh Framework Programme associated country. Applicants must be able to show scientific achievement that is clearly relevant under Single European Sky and, in particular, SESAR, which covers air traffic management, related airport and air vehicle areas of research.

The SESAR Young Scientist Award will be awarded on the 27 November 2014 at the SESAR Innovation Days in Madrid, Spain. The deadline for applications is 6 October.
