Scientific Network Aeronautica Integra as an open forum for transfer of knowledge to the aeronautics and aerospace environment Rzeszow University of Technology, Poland

The scientific network „Aeronautica Integra” was established as an initiative of the Department of Aircrafts and Aircraft Engines at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautics, Rzeszow University of Technology in Coordinator of the Network Department of Aircrafts and Aircraft Engines, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautics Scientific Network Aeronautica Integra

to integrate and to increase the activity of Polish scientific groups working in the area of aviation technologies (scientific and industrial partners) within research and education to build sound foundations for transfer of knowledge Mission and main goals

Scientific Network Aeronautica Integra to increase participation of Polish partners in the EU Framework Programmes projects to develop co-operation between Poland and foreign partners to publish the Journal of Aeronautica Integra® (JAI) to join European scientific networks and ESTP Mission and main goals

Scientific Network Aeronautica Integra Detailed aims of activity of scientific network permanent integration of capabilities of research centres, taking into account their research specialisation aggregation of experience of many centres in the common research area and achievement of critical mass preparation of national research centres (Members of the Network) in order to join the European Research Area (ERA)

Scientific Network Aeronautica Integra co-ordination of activities of research centres promotion of knowledge developed by the forum Integration and activation of Polish scientific society dealing with aviation in order to increase the participation of Polish partners in the projects developed under the Framework Programmes of the European Union. Detailed aims of activity of scientific network

Scientific Network Aeronautica Integra transformation of the national network into a pan-European network operating in the European Research Area generation of intellectual and material potential of the best Polish groups carrying out research in the fields of aviation achievement of critical mass of research groups by encouraging recognised research groups to join the network developing knowledge-based economy Detailed aims of activity of scientific network

Scientific Network Aeronautica Integra Creating possibilities of utilisation of the main instruments of Framework Programmes, i.e. Networks of Excellence, Integrated Projects and STREP projects, by: - integration of national and foreign research groups active in the field of modern aviation technology - making new contacts and gaining scientific experience by using the existing relationships of the Members of the Network with the European Centres of Excellence; this should facilitate the acquisition of know-how that would be unavailable without carrying out the common research Detailed aims of activity of scientific network

Scientific Network Aeronautica Integra Current activities: - building and updating the interactive homepage to support current activity forms and actual information platform - organizing meetings for partners to fulfil common tasks - organizing scientific conferences (e.g. I Seminar on Aerospace Research and Didactics) Bezmiechowa, Poland, 26 – 28 May, 2006

Scientific Network Aeronautica Integra Current activities: - supporting attendance of partners in the conferences and special meetings dedicated to aerospace - collecting materials for the first edition of the Journal of Aeronautica Integra - preparation of the project on „UAV as a demonstrator of modern technological solutions in aerospace applications„
