Lunch Lecture To70

You are invited to attend the lunch lecture titled “When will we fly without pilots or air traffic controllers?” from To70 on Thursday the 8th of December at 12:45 in lecture hall B, presented by Dr. ir. Maarten Tielrooij (C&S Alumnus) and Lupita Schalk.

The advent of more and more advanced AI and algorithms may well make the pilot and air traffic controller obsolete in the future, but when? And if so, how do we get there? The introduction of advanced automation in a complex and conservative system as ATM is one of the areas where To70 provides its expertise. In this lecture To70 will talk about how they look at such automation, how they help keeping the system working in the meantime, and what opportunities they have for working in aviation in Europe.

Register below (before Tuesday 6th 12:00) for Free Lunch! (Open to all)

We hope to see you at the lunch lecture!
