Members Directory Aeronautics Skywin in a Nutshell 2017-18 MEMBERS DIRECTORY AERONAUTICS SKYWIN IN A NUTSHELL... The Belgian aerospace cluster “Skywin Wallonie” is a group of companies, training centers and research The Walloon Aeronautics Industry (1350 M€, 5500 employees) is mainly focused on Aircraft Engines units engaged in a public and private partnership and building synergies around common and innova- and Structure, Equipment, Simulation and Training. tive projects in the Walloon region of Belgium. Skywin represents some 7.000 direct jobs and more than € 1,6 billion in revenue, exporting 90% of its products. Skywin counts more than 150 members among which one finds more than 90 SME’s: a proof that Wallonia is a dense and rich playground for innovation! As a competitiveness cluster, Skywin’s objective is to foster and promote the technological advance of Walloon aerospace companies and therefore supply competitive products and services, which are the mainstay of business development. Since the redefinition of its strategy, the priorities and strategic orientations of Skywin were updated as follows: • Composite materials and processes • Metallic materials and processes (including Additive Manufacturing process) • Embedded systems (for airplanes, satellites or drones) • Airport services • Space or drone applications and systems • Modeling and simulation (as transverse orientation) At the end of 2016, Skywin was managing 72 R&D, Investment or Training projects. These projects totalize about 300 contributions from inno- vation actors in Wallonia, led by Industry (with a strong involve- ment of our SME’s). The total budget of those projects is nearly 225 M€. The Walloon Space Industry (250M€, 1500 employees) is mainly focused on Equipment for satellite payload and launcher, System exploitation and Space applications. 2 3 MECASOFT

  • Enough with the Criminalisation of the BDS Movement for Justice in Palestine! Let's Support Right to Boycott!
    Enough with the criminalisation of the BDS movement for justice in Palestine! Let's support right to boycott! Why this is important: The French High Court has upheld the conviction of activists who called for the boycott of Israeli products The British government is implementing a new set of rules that will make it harder for local councils and other public bodies including universities to make ethical procurement or investment decisions. The Israeli Intelligence Minister Yisrael Katz said at the largest Israeli anti-BDS conference, held on March 28 in Jerusalem, that Israel should engage in “targeted civil eliminations” of BDS "leaders" with the help of Israeli intelligence All over the world, non-violent grassroots activists are under threat! Petition: Dear Mr Juncker – President of the European Commission Dear Mrs Astola – Director General of the DG Justice and Consumers of the EC We, the undersigned citizens of Europe are deeply alarmed by the ongoing attempts by some European governments to criminalise political activism against Israeli violations of international law. The Israeli Intelligence Minister Yisrael Katz said at the largest Israeli anti-BDS conference, held on March 28 in Jerusalem, that Israel should engage in “targeted civil eliminations” of BDS "leaders" with the help of Israeli intelligence. That was at the very same conference at which EU Ambassador to Israel was participating alongside the settler leaders. It is seriously alarming when government ministers anywhere make such threats against human rights defenders! We wish to express our outrage at such an incitement and attacks on civil rights and seeking your support in upholding the basic rights for European citizens for a freedom of speech and expression in support for the Palestinian people and/or other people worldwide to defend their fundamental rights.

    21st Air Transport Research Society World Conference 2017 World Conference 2017 Made possible by FLANDERS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT 21st Air Transport Research Society World Conference 2017 1 21st Air Transport Research Society World Conference 2017 World Conference 2017 Welcome on behalf of the local organizing committee In the name of the University of Antwerp, the Faculty of Applied Economics, the Department of Transport and Regional Economics and C-MAT, the Centre for Maritime and Air Transport Management, I am very happy to welcome you in Antwerp. It gives us a feeling of great privilege to have been given the opportunity to organize this ATRS 2017 conference. Originally a department focusing mainly on maritime and port research, the Departement of Transport and Regional Economics has grown to become a knowledge and education centre for air transport as well. This development was supported by the creation of the Centre for Maritime and Air Transport Management, which provides an international management programme in which the students can choose to specialize in either maritime or air transport. Furthermore, there is an array of research methods that can be applied to both the maritime, as well as air transport sector. For the ATRS conference, we are very much looking forward to an array of special sessions with interesting discussions between industry participants and participants from academia. Furthermore, the collection of fascinating papers going to be presented at this conference guarantees high quality contributions and a me- morable program of the highest scientific standards and practical merit. We thank everyone who contributed to this conference. We are indebted to our sponsors, colleagues and participants to make this event possible.

  • Physics, Treatment Planning and Verification
    /*J I BE9700001 UNiVERSITEIT GENT Radiotherapy and Nuclear Medicine Conformai Radiotherapy : Physics, Treatment Planning and Verification Proceedings book 0 '•-. 11th Annual Symposium of the Belgian Hospital Physicist Association Performed by NV KODAK on recycling paper 8 us 1 1 This year, the 11th Annual Symposium of the Belgian Hospital Physicist Association is organised by the Department of Radiotherapy and Nuclear Medicine of the University of Gent. The central theme of the Symposium is conformal radiotherapy. The goal of conformal radiotherapy is to establish a dose distribution that conforms tightly to the target volume and to limit radiation to all other normal tissues. The driving force is the insight that conformal radiotherapy - for a number of common tumours - significantly improves both local control and palliation. It has been argued that improved local control will increase survival. It is beyond doubt that better palliation results in a higher quality of life. Although the idea of conformal external radiotherapy is not new at all, it was only in the advent of the recent technologies that megavoltage X-ray conformal therapy became feasible. Present-day linear accelerators allow fully computerised control of the orientation and geometry of the beam. Sophisticated imaging techniques supply 3-dimensional anatomical and functional data. The resulting images permit the reconstruction of the patient in the virtual world created by the treatment planning software. Current high-performance and reasonably priced workstations and computer methods allow to fix the numerous degrees of freedom in an optimum way. However, the practicable combination of the above methods is still a scientific challenge. In addition, the technological and dosimetric issues regarding dynamic conformal therapy have not been addressed thoroughly yet.
