Short Course: AIRCRAFT DESIGN

This short course is offered on request for e. g. industry or organizations of higher education. We have a tradition to run this course once a year in May or June in Hamburg. There is however enough flexibility to adapt the schedule to your needs. The course can also run as an in-house course at our customers premises. Bring forward your ideas!
Please see the Short Course Home Page for details.

History back to the Roots

The first European Workshop on Aircraft Design Education was held in Madrid in 1994 and was hosted by the University of Madrid (ETSIA). There were approximately 25 participants from 10 countries. Other workshops followed, often with an increasing number of participants. All workshops were arranged with financial support and contributions of the industry. Since 1994 EWADE is know as an affectionate community of people with similar interests. Today, everyone is welcome to participate and to contribute with a presentation or poster. Here is the list of all past EWADE workshops:

9th Workshop: 2009 Sevilla
8th Workshop: 2007 Samara
7th Workshop: 2005 Toulouse
6th Workshop: 2004 Brno
5th Workshop: 2002 Linköping
4th Workshop: 2000 Turin
3th Workshop: 1998 Bristol
2nd Workshop: 1996 Berlin
1st Workshop: 1994 Madrid

Organisation

After the Madrid Workshop in 1994 it was agreed that workshops would be organized every two years, hosted by those participants who can find sufficient financial support from their university and from their local or national industry. Objectives are formulated as follows:

To allow European lecturers concerned with Aircraft Design to continue their active collaboration.
To discuss Aircraft Design problems as regards research and education.
To enhance close cooperation with the aerospace industry for the two aspects mentioned above.

In order to allow local organizers the greatest possible freedom and to keep the initiative open as possible to those who are interested to join at any time, it was decided, at least for the time being, not to establish a formal organization.
