Concluding remarks
„
EREA has been substantially contributing to the progressive construction
of the European Research Area in the field of aeronautics since 1993
„
The EREA members have high quality expertise and facilities necessary
to develop and test the new concepts required to meet the targets of
Vision 2020
„
EREA/REs will continue to contribute as one major ACARE stakeholder
together with industry and member states to the formulation and
implementation of the Strategic Research Agenda
