Celebrating Excellence: Announcing the Winners of the 2023 EUROCAE Awards

- Paris, France.

Eurocae has announced the winners of the 2023 Awards, which were presented during the Gala Dinner at the Air and Space Museum at Le Bourget on 26 April 2023, as part of the 60th-anniversary celebrations of EUROCAE. The nominations for the different Awards came from within the Working Groups, where the work is done, and who better to identify those members worthy of an Award than the Working Group members?

More than 5000 participants from about 550 member organizations are registered with EUROCAE. Each and every one of them is a valuable member of a community of aviation experts dedicated to writing standards with the sole purpose of making aviation safe and efficient.

We want to take this opportunity to recognize the exceptional individuals who went above and beyond their duties. These experts assumed responsibilities and worked tirelessly to ensure the best possible outcome. It was these extraordinary members that EUROCAE recognized with the Awards presented each year.

The Selection Committee represented the EUROCAE Governance by being composed of a member of the Council, the Technical Advisory Committee, and the Secretariat. For the Global Harmonization Award, a representative from RTCA joined the Selection Committee.

We are grateful for the contributions of all our members and congratulate the 2023 EUROCAE Award winners for their exceptional work and dedication...
