The Forest
The International Council of the Aeronautical Sciences (ICAS) will be held in Florence from 9-13 September 2024. ICAS was established in 1957 under the leadership of Professor Theodore von Kármán. Today ICAS continues to support the work of aerospace professional Member Societies around the world. The ICAS Congress has three distinctive characteristics: it is multi-disciplinary, recognising that major advances must involve experts working together across a range of specialisms; it recognises that social interaction and conviviality are essential ingredients of knowledge exchange, and are enhanced by selecting culturally rich settings for our Congresses; and it offers unparalleled opportunities for early career researchers to develop their network and to make a real contribution to international collaboration. The unique atmosphere of an ICAS Congress builds life-long collaboration, mutual understanding and international friendship, while sending a strong message to society that our global community is working together to solve global challenges.Website: https://www.icas2024.com/
Impact
The trees we plant have big ambitions: to bring benefits not only to the environment, but also to the people who live in it. That's why we work with NGOs and local communities to select the right tree for the right place and the right purpose. That’s why we think about the medium and long term, because we’re not content with simply planting trees: we want to see them grow.
