a research consortium dedicated to sustainable aviation
ISA relies on leading interdisciplinary teams formed around projects targeting a particular aspect of the sectoral transformation of aviation.
l
INSTITUTION
Bringing together a leading research network in the heart of a major university city and aviation center, the Institute for Sustainable Aviation is a consortium of academic forces, established in November 2021, to address the current crisis in aviation and the need for scientific input on pathways to a sustainable future.
MAINSPRING
The Institute for Sustainable Aviation mobilizes a comprehensive and balanced set of disciplines to produce knowledge and inform decisions concerning the technical decarbonization trajectory of the aviation sector, in close relation to the evolution of uses, sustainability standards, regulatory levers and socio-economic responses.
VISION
At the heart of the regional aeronautical metropolis, the Institute for Sustainable Aviation (ISA) aims to address the issue of aviation sustainability by implementing interdisciplinary research at the interface of social sciences and humanities, financial and industrial economics, aerospace engineering and flight operations, transport and environmental laws and regulations, energetics and atmospheric physics.
STEERING COMMITTEE
The Institute for Sustainable Aviation is a collaborative research structure, placed under the governance of eight Toulouse-based institutions (ISAE-SUPAERO, TSE, UT1C, ENAC, TBS, Météo-France, CERFACS and UT2J). Its agreement specifies the missions and operating principles of the three governance bodies of this structure: a board of directors, a steering committee and a scientific committee.
Prof. Laurent Joly
Director of the Institute for Sustainable Aviation
Holds a PhD in fluid mechanics and has been a full professor in fluid mechanics since 2002. His research interests include turbulence and mixing, with applications to wake vortices and computational fluid dynamics. As Director of ISA, he is committed to fostering interdisciplinarity and has expanded his own scientific field to include all components of aerospace engineering, with a particular interest in low-emission aircraft design and holistic systems design.
