On 19 September 2025, the AVIONIC project team gathered in Madrid, Spain for the closing conference of the Creative Digital Teaching and Learning for Green Air Transport and Logistics (AVIONIC) project. The event marked the completion of a multi-year collaboration between European universities and industry partners, focused on building modern digital tools for aviation education.
Launch of the Avionic Learning Platform
The headline moment of the conference was the official launch and demonstration of the Avionic Learning Platform — the central deliverable of the project. The platform brings together interactive teaching modules, digital case studies, and learning scenarios designed for higher-education courses in air transport and logistics.
Conference participants — including academics, project partners, and industry stakeholders — were guided through the platform’s features and the pedagogical reasoning behind its design. The demonstration confirmed that the platform is ready for integration into university curricula and for use by both students and faculty in the aviation field.
Project wrap-up and lessons learned
Beyond the platform launch, the closing event served as a moment to reflect on what the project achieved across its full duration:
- a series of student and teacher workshops held across partner institutions
- the development of digital teaching materials aligned with green aviation goals
- partnerships strengthened between universities and aviation industry actors
- documentation and dissemination of pedagogical methods that can be reused beyond the project’s lifetime
The closing conference brought the consortium together one last time in a formal setting, providing space for partners to discuss sustainability of the results and future collaboration opportunities.
The AVIONIC Project represents the kind of European-level cooperation that helps modernise university teaching in a sector — aviation — where the gap between fast-moving industry practice and traditional pedagogy can be wide. The closing conference confirmed that the project’s outputs will continue to be available to the wider academic community.
