CEAS IN BRIEF
In the mid 1980s Europe’s main professional aerospace societies having had bilateral exchanges for a long time, recognized the increasingly international nature of aerospace business and the strength of European industrial alliances by beginning to develop close working relationships. This culminated in the formation of the Confederation of European Aerospace Societies (CEAS) during the 1992 Farnborough Airshow and the official signing of the CEAS Constitution at the 1993 Paris Aishow. Later on, on 2003, the Constituent Societies realized that a deeper collaboration was necessary which would provide CEAS with a legal status and more flexible resources. The new status transforms the former Confederation in a Council and gives CEAS legal support under the Belgian law. Apart from the consideration of CEAS as a association of national Societies, two branches have been established: one for aeronautics and other for space chaired by relevant professional. These branches will be composed by individual members and will be coordinated by a director who will manage the activities. Today CEAS comprises eight member societies with a combined of 25.000 individual members:
