EU FP7 Transportation

Transport research R&D skills profile

Paul Stewart
Prof Stewart presenting on the School of Engineering's Transport R&D capabilities in Brussels at the EU

The Transport Research open days gave us a great opportunity to present on our capabilities, network, and engage in brokerage activities with potential project collaborators.

We have long-standing, significant research experience in these areas and our capabilities in this area can be summarised:

  • Power optimised systems for aeronautical and automotive applications, including the More Electric Aircraft  and Electric/Hybrid Vehicles
  • Electrical machines, power converters and energy storage
  • Autonomous vehicles
  • Electromechanical/Electrohydraulic actuation systems
  • IC and gas turbine combustion, emissions and performance testing, analysis and multi-dimensional (CFD) modelling
  • Fluid-Solid interactions
  • Dual fuel and alternative fuel combustion
  • Advanced, intelligent engine modelling, design and control
  • Artificial Intelligence for low carbon transport operation

EU Framework 7 Aeronautics and Air Transport briefing Brussels 18 July 2011

Paul Stewart
Aeronautics and Air Transport plenary session at the European Commission Charlemagne Building

Profs Chris Bingham and Paul Stewart from the School of Engineering attended the Framework 7 Aeronautics and Air Transport  – 5th Call briefing in Brussels on Monday

The event provided information on the forthcoming calls, and most importantly provided a vital opportunity for networking and project brokerage with potential collaborative partners.

The EU funded project ETNA is organised a networking and brokerage event focussing on the topics covered by the next round of calls to be published in July of 2011. The networking and brokerage events followied the informational sessions carried out by the European Commission in the morning. The event on day 1 (Monday, July 18)  focused on the topics in the sub-programme Aeronautics and Air Transport (AAT). The event took place in the building Charlemagne, rue de la Loi 170 – the same location as the informational sessions in the morning.
