The 3rd Florence Aviation Regulation Conference aims to discuss current and future economic and regulatory policies relating to European air transport. The conference brings together academics, selected industry representatives, and policymakers. The scope of each year’s conference is to find practical solutions through rigorous academic dialogue and constructive debate.
This conference is part of Transport Week, which includes three academic conferences focusing on Aviation, Rail, and maritime regulation, as well as a Summer School on transport regulation, a forum for discussion on transport regulation.
The Conference organisers are seeking original papers on topics that affect European air transport, including regulatory challenges, resilience and competitiveness, sustainable aviation, investments, digitalisation, and innovation in the aviation sector (such as ramping up the development of alternative fuels and U-Space). Contributions that employ multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches to regulation, and that combine academic and practical perspectives, are highly encouraged. The conference is intended for academics, academically minded practitioners, and PhD researchers. The best papers will be eligible for publication in a book on Transport Regulation in Europe, to be published by a leading publisher biannually.
The Conference is co-organised by the Transport Area of the Florence School of Regulation of the European University Institute and the International Institute of Air and Space Law of Leiden University. The Conference will take place in Florence (Italy).
