ISA RESEARCH SCHOOL 2026: PATHWAYS TO SUSTAINABLE AVIATION

State-of-the-art research and collective intelligence to address aviation’s environmental challenges

Last Friday marked the conclusion of the first Research School organized by the ISA, under the theme « Pathways to Sustainable Aviation ».

For a week, the most active and renowned researchers— Rafael Balderas, Joana Albano, Daniel Kan, Chantal Roucolle, Jens Friedrichs, Lynnette Dray, Sara Laurent, Junzi Sun, Stefan Gossling, Camila Gonzalez-Marin, and Nicolas Bellouin—shared their disciplinary approaches with a new generation of young researchers. The latter thus benefited from privileged access to state-of-the-art research aimed at generating knowledge and shedding light on the levers for mitigating aviation’s environmental impacts.

A huge thank you to them for the quality of their presentations, and to the participants for their unwavering commitment, particularly during the group work and the creation of the Gigamap—a visual mapping of their collaborative work.
