In the heartland of Bavaria, Germany, history and innovation converged at the ECATS 2023 Summer School. The Blumenthal Castle served as an inspiration for the attendees, as a former battlefield, to address, this time, the fight against the strongest enemy of all: climate change. A captivating event that took place from September 2-8, 2023 andContinue reading “Exploring aviation’s climate impacts: ECATS Summer School ’23”
