The 4th Aerospace Engineering Congress will be held from 24 to 28 April at the Spanish Institute of Engineering. The theme for this event is “National Aeronautical and Space Strategy”.
This event, presided over by King Felipe VI, is organised by the Official Spanish Association of Aeronautical Engineers (COIAE), and focuses on the national aeronautical strategy. The Congress provides a forum for professionals, teachers, companies and institutions from Spain’s aeronautical sector to debate questions of vital import to the industry’s present and future.
The event is divided into five days, each of which will feature various roundtables and presentations. The topics to be discussed include aeronautical defence programmes in Spain and the investments and strategies of the aeronautical industry for the next ten years.
Isdefe, a leader in Spain’s aeronautical sector, will be an active participant in this Congress, with renowned Isdefe professionals taking part in the roundtables and giving various presentations.
The first day, Monday, 24 April, will be devoted to the different visions of Spain’s aeronautical and space strategy. Two roundtables will be held on this topic.
