Organised by the Royal Aeronautical Society,
CEAS 2009 will be the major event in the European aerospace calendar during 2009.
It will attract aerospace professionals, companies and organisations not only from across
the European Union but also from other major global aerospace nations. It is expected that
there will be up to 1000 attendees and that 400-500 technical papers will be presented.

The Handley Page Centenary:
100 Years of Education in Aeronautics - Time for a Change?
Call For Papers
Tuesday 23 - Wednesday 24 June 2009
No.4 Hamilton Place, London UK
The Annual International Conference in 2009 will form a major
part of the Royal Aeronautical Society’s celebrations to mark the Handley Page centenary.
The two-day Conference is co-sponsored by City University, London, as part of its
celebrations of delivering aeronautical education for 100 years. It seeks to examine the
challenges in ensuring that engineers working in the aviation industry are best prepared
and equipped for careers extending over the next 50 years and beyond. The Conference will
be held at the RAeS’s prestigious London Headquarters on Tuesday 23 and Wednesday 24 June
2009.
The Conference has a very broad agenda and will address the skills sets and techniques needed
by aeronautical engineers in the future and whether education and training systems are
optimised to meet those needs. National regulatory requirements and the global employment
market place demands on training systems and strategies, and the pace of change in aviation,
together with careers that may last half a century, may require changes to current
philosophies. As with the Handley Page legacy, the Conference aims to tease out the novel and
contentious.
The strategic challenges in education and training will be examined from the differing
perspectives of manufacturers, operators, regulators, technologists, academia and young
professionals who have recently entered the aviation industry. It will include a panel debate
and a wide range of presentations by leading experts, not only from the UK but also from
other nations and other industries. Delegates are expected from all sectors of the industry
from around the world and this Conference presents a unique opportunity for in-depth
discussion with others in the field. The Conference will seek to determine how the issues
might best be resolved and will conclude with an open forum where delegates’ views will help
shape how the RAeS might help facilitate progress.

In Conjunction with 
Complex Weapons; Systems, Technologies and Their Application
Call For Papers
Wednesday 25 - Thursday 2 November 2009
Ministry of Defence, Abbey Wood, Bristol, UK
Much of the work in the area of Complex Weapons (CW) is classified. Those working in the field need to have an appreciation of the wider
systems and technologies involved. An understanding of developments in these systems and technologies will also aid the evolution of new
doctrine and operational concepts. In order to stimulate thinking about CW and encourage exchange of ideas, this classified conference is
being arranged by the Royal Aeronautical Society.
The term ‘Complex Weapons’ is, within the UK, now irrevocably linked to a partnership between a subset of UK Industry and MOD (Team CW). This initiative is seeking
to explore whether, by adopting a family of weapons, it may be possible to provide long-term military capability via a sustainable UK industrial base within a decreasing
defence budget. It is understood that not all UK weapons are within this initiative.
Future conflicts will demand high precision, low collateral damage weapons capable of meeting the challenges of a wide range of threats and target sets. Their capabilities
vary from deep target attack to the engagement of tactical targets and for defence, across all military domains.
These systems and developments will need to deal with the challenges of complexity, and use strategies to avoid unstable and chaotic behaviour that may result organically,
or from interaction between System of Systems elements. The needs of flexibility will also demand a wide range of behaviours within varying environments and operational constructs.
The Weapon Systems & Technologies specialist group of the Royal Aeronautical Society calls for classified papers with relevance to the field of Complex Weapons.Please refer to the following link for further details.
