The aviation and drone industries are rapidly evolving fields that play a critical role in addressing global sustainability and technological innovation challenges. The International Symposium on Sustainable Aviation (ISSA) and the newly launched International Symposium on Drones and Artificial Intelligence (ISUN-AI) serve as international, multi-disciplinary platforms that bring together researchers, academics, engineers, and industry professionals.

The symposium features keynote speeches, panel discussions, poster presentations, networking sessions, and a virtual exhibition of sustainable aviation products and services. The symposium will also provide opportunities for collaboration and partnership among the participants and stakeholders.

The symposium is organized by the International Sustainable Aviation and Energy Research Society (SARES), a leading organization that focuses on advancing the knowledge and practice of sustainable aviation and Shenyang University, China.

The symposium will occur at the Shenyang University on the 21-23 October 2024 in Shenyang, China. The symposium will also be live-streamed online for those who cannot attend in person.

ISSA focuses on advancing sustainable practices in aviation by addressing topics such as improving aerodynamic, energy, and aircraft fuel efficiency, promoting the use of biofuels, minimizing environmental impact, developing optimized lightweight structures, mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, exploring novel propulsion systems, and reducing engine and airframe noise.

ISUN-AI, on the other hand, is dedicated to the intersection of drone technologies and artificial intelligence. It aims to explore cutting-edge applications of AI in unmanned aerial systems (UAS), including autonomous navigation, object detection and tracking, swarm intelligence, real-time decision-making, environmental monitoring, and smart surveillance, while also emphasizing sustainability and ethical considerations in AI-driven drone deployment.

The symposium is open to anyone interested in sustainable aviation, drone and AI technologies including academics, researchers, students, engineers, managers, policymakers, regulators, consultants, journalists, and activists. Please find the symposium registration details from this link.
