7 EASA added value for research: European Plan for Aviation Safety (EPAS) EASA Research Activities 7

8 What is EPAS? EPAS is defined in the European Aviation Safety Programme EPAS is a European action plan on safety which is endorsed by the EASA management board EPAS the outcome of a Safety Risk Management process performed in coordination with Industry and States EPAS is a key element of the Commission s aviation strategy, designated to become mandatory through the new Basic Regulation EASA Research Activities 8

9 EASA added value for research: European Aviation Environmental Report New Basic Regulation 2018/1139, Article 87.4 at least every three years, publish an environmental review, which shall give an objective account of the state of environmental protection primarily rely on information already available to Union institutions and bodies shall also contain recommendations aiming to improve the level of environmental protection EASA Research Activities 9

10 Main Activities of Research Support to EASA Activities Rulemaking activities Certification activities Implement Safety Recommendations Support to the EU Research EU Aviation Research Strategy Selection of the tenderers Monitoring of projects Contribution, regulatory and technical inputs EASA Research Activities 10

11 Example of on-going research projects EASA funded projects Age Limitations for Commercial Air Transport Pilots Crew Immersion Suits Conspicuity DG MOVE projects, technically managed by EASA CAQ inside large aeroplanes and its health implication Effectiveness of Flight Time Limitation Safe transport of Lithium batteries by aircrafts Support to > 10 national and EU projects providing in-kind contribution as regulator s view EASA Research Activities 11

12 Agency s priority research thematic areas Aerostructure / Materials / Engines Avionics / Airborne s/w and h/w / Flight Control Systems / CNS Rotorcraft Safety General Aviation Human Factor Issues ATM Standard / Flight monitoring Operational Safety Weather Hazards Protection (Cyber)Security Environmental Protection Standards RPAS / Drones Novel Technologies Assessment Health issues See EASA Research Agenda EASA Research Activities 12

13 NBR: Identifying key research themes New Basic Regulation 2018/1139, Article74.1 The Agency shall (1) assist the Member States and the Commission in (2) identifying key research themes in the field of civil aviation falling within the scope of this Regulation. (1) Cooperation with national research centres (2) Identification through the EPAS of the priorities of future research programmes ONERA bmvit AIT CIRA EASA INTA DLR NLR And others EASA Research Activities 13

14 NBR: A global approach for a coordinated research program New Basic Regulation 2018/1139, Article74.2 shall support the Commission in the definition and accomplishment of the relevant Union framework programmes for research and innovation activities... shall implement civil aviation related parts of the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation where the Commission has delegated the relevant powers to it.

15 Aviation Regulators Some New Mission Quests 15

16 A P2P Strategy to Federate the Research Needs of Aviation Regulators 16

17 P2P Strategy ❶ 185 Initiative Criteria For a New Article 17

18 Formal Steps for the Set- P2P Strategy ❷ up Process 18

19 P2P Strategy ❸ Budgetary Issues 19

20 P2P Strategy ❹ State of Play of Art based existing Initiatives Initiative Scope Budget [M ] Duratio n [Year] AAL 2 ICT applications to improve the life of the elderly EDCTP 2 European & Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership EMPIR Metrology Research Programme EUROSTARS Support for research performing SMEs BONUS Joint Baltic Sea Research Programme

21 P2P Strategy ❺ An example for a 7-year Financial Scenario Example: 300 M EU contribution = x EU + y EU +. z EU M P 2 P matches 300 M MS national research funding = x MS1 + y MS2 +. z MSn M 600 M for 7 years MS 1 Government MS 2 Government MS n Government National Research Centres National Research Centres National Research Centres Thirdparty funds Basic Funding X M /year Thirdparty funds Basic Funding y M /year Thirdparty funds Basic Funding z M /year Grants Grants Grants 21

22 P2P Strategy ❻ An example AIT RTA IWT CWT National Research Centres Outstanding competences in certain disciplines TAKE OFF Gov. funding Existing national programmes X amount of national funding P2P EC may match up to X amount To close identified research gaps EASA Research Activities 22

23 Research gaps and needs P4P project identified research gaps regard aviation safety /publication/b4690ade e8-b5fe-01aa75ed71a1 EASA s needs for research are listed in the Agency Research Agenda esearch%20agenda% %20for%20website.docx.pdf EASA Research Activities 23
