1 April - 30 September 2025 - Hamburg

Course "Aviation and the Environment

The course "Aviation and the Environment" in cooperation with DLR at the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH), addresses the climatic and environmental challenges of aviation. It covers both CO2 emissions and non-CO2 effects, such as nitrogen oxides and contrails, which significantly contribute to climate impact. The lecture in the summer semester 2025, held by Dr. Florian Linke from the DLR Institute of Air Transport, introduces meteorology and atmospheric physics, examines weather influences on air traffic, and presents technological and operational solutions to reduce environmental impacts. The course also focuses on local environmental effects at airports, such as noise and air quality.

7-9 May 2025 - Warsaw

Aerodays 2025

At Aerodays 2025, the leading conference on aviation research and innovation, the DLR Institute of Air Transport will represent the Alliance for Zero-Emission Aviation (AZEA), Working Group 1, in a panel of the European Commission and discuss the key challenges related to the introduction of electric and hydrogen flights.

20-21 May 2025 - Berlin

GARS Junior Workshop 2025

The DLR Institute of Air Transport will host the GARS Junior Workshop in Berlin on 20th and 21st May 2025.

21-25 July 2025 - Las Vegas

2025 AVIATION Forum

The 2025 AVIATION Forum is held under the theme Navigating the Future: Sustainability, Safety, and Innovation and highlights key developments for a sustainable, safe, and innovative aviation industry. The focus is on new propulsion systems, climate-compatible technologies, and requirements for aviation infrastructure. At the forum, we will contribute with a presentation on supersonic flight and its impact on the surrounding environment.

1-3 September 2025 - Edinburgh

27th EWGT 2025

The DLR Institute of Air Transport will present several contributions from its Air Transport Management and Air Transport Economics departments at the 27th Annual Conference of the Euro Working Group on Transportation (EWGT). The conference focuses on the application of operations research methods, mathematical models, and algorithms to the analysis and planning of transport systems. It provides a platform for the exchange of innovative solutions and ideas to promote efficient, sustainable, and equitable transport systems.
