In the long run, ECARE will be instrumental in achieving the CA JU objectives “to reduce the ecological footprint of aviation by accelerating the development of climate neutral aviation technologies for their earliest possible deployment, therefore significantly contributing to the ambitious environment impact mitigation goals of the European Green Deal and the European Climate Law, which targets 55 % emissions reduction by 2030 compared to 1990 levels, and climate neutrality at the latest by 2050 in line with the Paris Agreement”.
From an economic perspective, synergy recommendations will avoid duplication of funding at regional/national level and will thus contribute to a better use of the European taxpayer’s money. On the other hand, ECARE will help leveraging the combined technical resources of European regions and countries to produce a multiplier effect and contribute to reach the goal of climate-neutral aviation.
In addition, collaborations emanating from ECARE will allow European actors to come together to carry out breakthrough R&I projects, while strengthening Europe’s aeronautical design and manufacturing industry. The outcomes of these projects will support market deployment of innovative solutions towards a dynamic and prosperous economy.
When the ECARE platform is adopted by key players of the aeronautical sector and funding bodies, it will serve as a hub providing relevant information and interesting networking opportunities to its users. In this way, it will improve the general knowledge on existing European high-quality skills, technologies and solutions for a greener aviation, therefore accelerating the development of innovative technologies.
Finally, it is expected that ECARE will contribute towards the improvement of the European citizens’ mobility with safe and environmentally friendly air travel options.
