Key activity

Mapping the aeronautics and air transport landscape in Europe, Africa and in particular South Africa

Various interactions between the EU and SA (and African) partners in all sectors will be collated and analysed in the following categories:

  • R&D competences in the SA governmental, research and private sectors, and similarly in other African countries
  • Collaborations such as Framework Programme projects, bilateral initiatives etc.
  • The "enabling environment", which includes co-operation and legislative frameworks, as well as an overview of respective research, aeronautics and air transport policies
  • Specific SA / African R&D strengths or comparative advantages
  • Political, economic or development co-operation imperatives
  • Funding mechanisms.

Workshops will be held where SA, African and EU researchers can discuss the mapping and identify further areas for co-operation.
