Council of European Aerospace Societies

The Council of European Aerospace Societies was formed in 1993 as the Confederation of European Aerospace Societies in recognition of the increasingly international nature of aerospace business. The transition from Confederation to Council took place in 2003 with the intention of providing improved collaboration, legal status and use of the resources of the constituent societies.

CEAS primary objective is to enhance the value of the diverse services offered by the Member Societies at a European level, facilitating greater dialogue between them and European institutions, governments, the aerospace and defence industries, and academia.

CEAS is governed by a Board of Trustees, which includes representatives from each Member Society. Its head office is located in Brussels, Belgium. [1]
