Through stakeholder surveys Engage 2 identifies critical thematic challenges in ATM and related areas. These challenges aim to address operational gaps not currently targeted by existing SESAR research projects, prioritise funding and promote PhDs.

Catalyst funding fast-tracks specific activities in support of developing solutions to the thematic challenges and moving closer towards industry goals and objectives, plus towards higher TRLs. 16 catalyst fund projects receive a maximum of €60k each.

Engage 2 organises two hackathons aimed at attracting new talent to the aviation industry. These events address the industry’s digitalization challenge, featuring a 24-hour coding session to tackle proposed ATM-related challenges. A jury evaluates solutions based on accuracy, creativity, and relevance. 

The next Engage2 hackathon is scheduled to take place on March 24th and 25th of 2025.
