ECATA and Other European Co-operative Programmes 2001-01-2958

To cope with the effects of the increasing co-operation of and mergers between the European Aerospace Industry and Research Institutes in recent years, the Academic Institutes in Aerospace Engineering Education in Europe are in the process of further strengthening their cooperation and exchange programmes. Furthermore postgraduate and post-experience programmes are being developed together with the industry. The European Commission supported this process as part of the unification of Europe in general. Aerospace Engineering has played an important role in this process. The present paper gives an overview of a number of these co-operative projects.
