A l'instar de la téléphonie mobile, le programme européen de radionavigation par satellite Galileo révolutionnera de nombreux secteurs économiques - à commencer par celui des transports. Initié par la Commission et l'Agence Spatiale Européenne (ESA), ce projet constitue, à l'horizon 2008, le fleuron industriel et technologique de la stratégie commune mise en œuvre dans le secteur spatial.

Aviation has two Achilles heels : noise and air pollution. Despite the enormous progress in reducing these major nuisances, the prospect of sustained growth in global air transport presents aeronautics research with a major environmental challenge.
 

Whereas Europe's market may now be 'single', its sky still has a long way to go. The prospect of growing congestion on air routes and at airports - with the underlying threat to safety - is making it essential to develop the technology and regulations to provide an efficient and reliable system, offering increased capacity and incorporating all aspects of air traffic management. This is a top priority at the heart of Europe's aeronautics research.
 

Hamburg - one of the major centres of the Airbus industrial complex - will be hosting Aeronautics Days 2001, from 29 to 31 January. This red-letter event will be the occasion to present the main lines of a new ambitious strategy within the European Research Area and to chart the future of European aeronautics. The objective over the next two decades is to equip the European Union with a global air transport system able to meet the challenges of the projected growth in the world market while strengthening the remarkable position currently enjoyed by European aeronautics. We summarise the issues at stake in this priority European field.
 

The sustainable development of urban transport is dependent on many variables, in terms of infrastructure, pricing policies and the allotment of land. That is why integrated planning tools are now being tested at a number of sites in northern and southern Europe, with a view to optimal mobility in the city of tomorrow.
 

Telecommunications, television, transport, management of natural resources and the environment, security... Today, a growing number of activities are based on space technologies as the whole sector undergoes a radical restructuring and becomes increasingly market oriented. The time has therefore come to implement a "European space strategy" based on increased synergy between institutions, agencies, research centres, industry and users.
 

The European Union's Galileo project for a global navigation satellite system is crucial to European independence and competitiveness.
 

These three objectives are central to the European Union's policy on road transport and thus the focus of its support for scientific and technological cooperation in this field.
