EASN Interest Groups (IGs)


Objectives Conception and Established Interest Groups How to suggest an Interest Group?

EASN Interest Groups are aimed at enhancing closer cooperation between university institutes in research areas of specific scientific interest with regard to the European research programmes.

The general objectives of Interest Groups are:

  • Identify the capabilities existing across Europe
  • Facilitate communication between individuals and stimulate the transfer of know-how
  • Provide information on research opportunities
  • Promote awareness for scientific and technological aspects in aeronautics

With respect to the European research programmes IGs might lead to Networks of Excellence (NoEs) in order to achieve harmonization and integration of University driven research on the topics of interest.

Yet, as NoEs do not allow for active research, IGs might lead also to University driven STREPs (as already done for the 1st FP6 call with 2 University driven STREPs) or even to University driven IPs in order to produce new innovative knowledge on the topics of interest.
