The 2025 edition took place on December 9 and 10, 2025, at Skyline Brussels, a premium venue in the heart of the European Quarter.
The Annual Event brought together approximately 100 participants, including representatives from Europe’s leading aviation research institutions, senior industry stakeholders, and high-level decision-makers from European institutions and the aviation ecosystem. The program featured keynote presentations, high-level panel discussions on the future of aviation research and innovation within the next Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF), the EREA Best Paper Award 2025, and concluded with a high-level networking walking dinner.
