Feedback from Previous EFATS

Many EFATS delegates return each year; of previous EFATS workshops they’ve said:

  • “identification of challenges was top tier”
  • “the sessions on superconductors, superconductor-based machines, hydrogen powered fuels, and cryogenic cooling systems offered valuable technical knowledge and deepened my understanding of emerging advancements in this field.”
  • “very well organised”
  • “an incredibly informative and insightful experience”
  • “great to see strong contributions from Airbus and GKN Aerospace, alongside out-of-sector content from the likes of the fusion industry”
  • “great mix of industry and academia”
  • “just the right size of meeting”
  • “a superb forum for discussion on progress toward zero-emission flight, in particular, how we can accelerate the development of cryogenically cooled electrical machines”Join them this year and find out what you’re missing!
