EXPLIC Program – EXPloration of
the LImits of a “drop-in” jet fuel

Progress in aeronautical and space sciences often has its roots in University laboratories and Research
Establishments. To keep its rank in the international competition, Europe needs to keep vigorously
supporting these research players. It also has to foster scientific exchange between all these entities and
its end users, namely the aerospace Industry and Agencies.

This is done in part thanks to the dedication of non-profit European aerospace associations like Eucass and
CEAS, through the conferences they organise. Additional stimulus is to come from the collaboration of these
two societies with other learned associations dedicated to disciplines like mechanics or applied mathematics
and which serve other human activities like ground transport, energy production and usage, etc.
