The 14th EASN International Conference on ‘Innovation in Aviation and Space towards Sustainability Today & Tomorrow’ took place from 8 to 11 October 2024 in Thessaloniki, Greece. This annual event brought together leading experts, researchers, and industry professionals to discuss advancements and sustainable solutions in the fields of aviation and space.
One of the topics of this year’s conference was a presentation by Tobias Finck from the German Aerospace Center (DLR). Tobias Finck, alongside co-author Bernd Korn, presented their conference paper titled ‘Requirements for an Allocation Center for the Flight Centric ATC Concept’. This work delved into the essential requirements for designing and implementing an Allocation Center within the Flight Centric Air Traffic Control (ATC) concept.
The presentation generated significant interest among attendees, particularly those focusing on innovations in air traffic management and the integration of sustainable practices. By addressing the operational and technical aspects of an Allocation Center, the research contributed to shaping the future of efficient and scalable air traffic control systems.
Building on the success of the Thessaloniki event, the 15th EASN International Conference is scheduled to take place in Madrid, Spain, from 14 to 17 October 2025. This upcoming conference will continue to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange, with a renewed focus on sustainability and innovation in aviation and space.
