EASA Research Agenda
EASA’s Basic Regulation permits the Agency to launch and finance research projects within its competence, which includes safety, security, environmental protection and health.
With consideration to the pace of technological developments and changes to business models within aviation, EASA research activities need to expand beyond the Agency’s internal needs and resources.
Safety, security, environmental protection and health topics are key cross-cutting issues to be tackled as early as possible within research activities and need to be addressed in a coordinated manner with the commensurate involvement of the regulators.
EASA is involved in several European and national research projects usually in an advising role. EASA provides advice and guidance as required to ensure the development of the required solutions whilst ensuring the highest safety performance, environmental protection and standards for the European aviation system. This is achieved either through the reinforcement of existing capabilities or the development of new ones in order to provide responses to identified shortcomings.
