The centre’s content and organisation structure were presented by the centre directors Dan Henningson (KTH), Tomas Grönstedt (Chalmers) and Petter Krus (LiU). The importance and future expectations on the SARC centre from the viewpoint of Vinnova was highlighted by Anders Blom (Programme Director, Innovair).

Valuable inputs for the ramp-up of the SARC.Academy Ph.D. school were collected during a panel discussion with Leif Larsson (formal director of the ENDREA forskarskolan). The workshop was closed with a common lunch between the airplanes at the exciting exhibition of the Flygvapenmusem and a technical tour through the Caravelle.
