Research takes flight Day

The "Research takes flight" days are the EADS Foundation's yearly highlights.

These gatherings are the Foundation's opportunities to present the guidelines directing the support that it provides and to report on its achievements over the past year. The people working with the Foundation also talk about their projects and about what they mean for our daily lives.

The Foundation also unveils the future objectives and new commitments that it has redefined for coming years, during these gatherings. These events feature a number of conferences and debates, and provide an opportunity for Foundation grand holders to meet and discuss their projects.

In other words, these gatherings open a new door for dialogue between the corporate and research world, and for debate about the key issues shaping society.

The Foundation also hands out the three EADS Foundation Prizes (which it awards in association with the Academy of Science) and its six Thesis Prizes.
