MINIMAL Workshop at 14th EASN International Conference

On 10 October 2024, MINIMAL will host a session at the EASN International Conference 2024, covering topics like hydrogen-fueled engines, nacelle drag, and climate impact assessments. On 11 October 2024, a workshop titled “Bridging the Gap from Conceptualization to Demonstration for Climate Neutrality by 2050” will be organised, featuring a panel session and round-table discussions on funding, policy, and technology demonstration. Both events will be chaired by project coordinator Dr. Carlos Xisto and include representatives from academia, industry, and public bodies.
