EASA to Hold “Innovative Air Mobility Implementation Forum”

The Euro­pean Union Avi­a­tion Safe­ty Agency (EASA) has announced it will hold “an Inno­v­a­tive Air Mobil­i­ty Imple­men­ta­tion Forum” on Octo­ber 22nd and 23rd at its premis­es in Cologne, reports a press release.

The two-day event begins with a half-day ses­sion intro­duced by Flo­ri­an Guiller­met,  EASA’s Exec­u­tive Direc­tor. The Forum will com­prise of lead­ing mem­bers from the Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty (AAM) sec­tor dis­cussing Inno­v­a­tive Air Mobil­i­ty (IAM) and the U‑space reg­u­la­to­ry frame­work, as well as the unmanned air­craft sys­tem (UAS) and ver­ti­cal take-off and land­ing (VTOL) indus­tries, includ­ing mar­ket fore­casts that may dri­ve the efforts of EASA and nation­al author­i­ties in the com­ing years. This will also be an oppor­tu­ni­ty to present, in col­lab­o­ra­tion with the Euro­pean Com­mis­sion, the imple­men­ta­tion sta­tus of the Euro­pean Drone Strat­e­gy 2.0.

The occa­sion then con­tin­ues with one and a half days of dis­cus­sions and pre­sen­ta­tions divid­ed in to dif­fer­ent work streams. “The main pur­pose of this event is to enhance the dia­logue between the avi­a­tion author­i­ties’ com­mu­ni­ty and the Euro­pean drone man­u­fac­tur­ers, oper­a­tors, U‑space ser­vice providers and rel­e­vant stake­hold­ers,” explains the release.

EASA views the Forum as “a great oppor­tu­ni­ty to have dis­cus­sions about the main reg­u­la­to­ry imple­men­ta­tion issues and pro­pos­als on best prac­tices to sup­port a safe devel­op­ment of the EU drone mar­ket.” 

The meet­ing agen­da and work streams will be coor­di­nat­ed with the nation­al author­i­ties and the main Euro­pean UAS indus­try asso­ci­a­tions.

Reg­is­tra­tion

Ini­tial­ly, this will be by invi­ta­tion only, open to rep­re­sen­ta­tives of avi­a­tion author­i­ties and mem­bers of the main Euro­pean UAS indus­try asso­ci­a­tions, to ensure their ade­quate rep­re­sen­ta­tion in the event. From mid-Sep­tem­ber, reg­is­tra­tion is open to all inter­est­ed par­ties.

The par­tic­i­pa­tion cost (cov­er­ing cater­ing and organ­i­sa­tion­al expens­es) will be as fol­lows:-

: In-per­son par­tic­i­pa­tion — EUR160 for the full event (includ­ing cater­ing and web stream­ing if in-per­son par­tic­i­pa­tion is not pos­si­ble).

: Vir­tu­al atten­dance is free of charge.
