The knowledge hub is the one-stop, go-to source for information: a single European point of entry for ATM knowledge. With improved search functionality, researchers may turn to the hub as an accessible meta- source of research data, and to contact other researchers to combine disciplines and share ideas. Industry partners may seek inspiration from exploratory and unconventional research and promote their application towards the operational context.

The knowledge hub will monitor, identify and analyse new opportunities for innovative ATM research of relevance to the evolution of the European ATM system. Challenges, barriers and active next steps will be identified. Action plans and recommendations can be defined and implemented with the support of Engage’s catalyst funding. The knowledge hub will also host links to various events (available here in the interim), the network’s repository, regularly-updated action and planning summary reports from the PhDs/theses supported by the network (with direct links with the supervisors and researchers) and the ATM concepts roadmap.

This will collect information on recent exploratory research accomplished by the ATM community, serving as a central knowledge resource and reference centre for researchers. Where available, the repository will link with existing and past projects, documents, published papers, videos and software code. This will include data on PhD theses supported by Engage. These elements and materials will be interlinked in an intuitive, user-friendly way. Information will be easily accessible and the system will pro-actively propose links to other pages/repositories, thus enhancing the visibility of all research in SESAR. This will ensure that related research, models or techniques are taken into account during searches (from a project website to the corresponding video, from a journal paper to the code repository used).
