The European Union is about to launch a massive seven-year, ?1.6 billion ($2 billion) research program dubbed Clean Sky, which will include developing six demonstrators for greener technologies. The European Council of Ministers is expected to formally adopt the comprehensive project next month.
The so-called joint technology initiative (JTI) will include follow-ons to several ongoing research projects managed in a more integrated fashion.
“Work in the integrated technology demonstrators [ITDs] will begin in May or June next year,” Loïc Michel, air transport manager and JTI contact at the Aerospace and Defense Industries Association of Europe (ASD), told AIN. In the meantime, the EU must hire an executive director for Clean Sky.
