AMEC 2021 Conference Program
The German Aviation Research Society (GARS) in collaboration with the European Aviation Conference Institute are delighted to invite academics, aviation practitioners, policy makers and other stakeholders to participate in the
2021 Aviation Management and Economics Conference (AMEC)
“Aviation and the environment”
29th & 30th November 2021, Online
The conference will be hosted online by the Dublin City University Business School, Ireland.
AMEC serves as a platform for diverse, high quality research in air transport economics, transportation management and fields related fields in the context of aviation. AMEC builds on the Air Transport and Regional Development (ATARD) COST Action network and encourages research in air transport and regional development. AMEC shares the same overarching theme as that of the European Aviation Conference (EAC) and is planned to take place right before the EAC.
This year, AMEC will have two separate submissions streams: One session stream will offer PhD students the chance to present their ongoing or completed work, related to all topics in air transport management and economics. Another sessions stream, open to practitioners and academics, is dedicated to topics in the environmental domain.
