These meetings are usually celebrated in Brussels, but due to the contingency measures against COVID-19, it will be online, to avoid attendant’s mobility.
The main purpose of this first meeting, which has the presence of Vladimir Cid Bourié on behalf of the European Commission, is to present the 11 work areas that conform the project.

The LABYRINTH project will investigate the optimization of drone traffic creating a centralized planification system capable of communicating with all the drones in a certain area, processing their desired origin and destination points and compute paths to avoid collisions. They will work together with the SESAR strategy through the development of autonomous air traffic control systems towards the integration of drones into European airspace. Learn more about LABYRINTH
