Seminar on the Structure of Aeronautical R&D

In recent years, AGARD has implemented a Support Programme for Greece. Portugal and Turkey. This support generally
consists of advice from organizations in supporting Nations to supported Nations. This advice is conveyed by means of visits by
consultant specialists from the supporting Nations to the supported Nations and equally by visits of scientists and engineers
from the supported Nations to R&D facilities in the supporting Nations.
The Support Programme was reviewed by AGARD in 1988. During this review _the need was expressed for Long-Tenn
National Aeronautical R&D Planning, based on short and long-term national goals. The objective of the present Seminar,
organized along the lines of the AGARD Lecture Series, is to present and discuss those elements needed to develop a Long-
Term Aeronautical R&D Plan. The lecturers will share their experience with representatives from government, industry and
research in Greece, Portugal and Tbrkey, responsible for the organization of aeronautical R&D.
The written contributions to this Seminar, given here, present the basis for the discussions. The papers show that aeronautical
R&D is a complicated process. that long periods of engagement of dedicated and competent groups are essential and that there
has developed an intricate network of exchange of information and of collaborative research and development. both nationally
and internationally. The papers are contributions to the development of a better understanding of the aeronautical R&D
process but they certainly do not give a complete picture nor do they cover all aspects involved. The present views and
experiences are from North America and Europe. The lecturers obtained their experience in research laboratories and
industry. In several cases the same topics are treated by different authors but from a different vantage point.
The participants in the Seminar must ultimately decide whether or not the information is useful to them. The most important
aspect of this Seminar may be that those responsible for planning aeronautical research and development in each country will
be stimulated in their difficult task.
Ces demieres anne'es, liAGARD a mis en oeuvre un programme d'aide a la Grece, au Portugal et a la Turquie. En général, cette
aide est apponée sous la forme de conseils donnés par des organismes de pays procurant l‘aide aux pays recevant l'aide. Ces
conseils sont communiqués a l‘occasion de visites faites par des spécialistes des pays “aidants” aux pays “aidés”, ainsi que par
l‘intermédiaire de visites effectuéee par des scientifiques et des ingénieurs de pays “aides” in des installations de recherche et
développement dans les pays “aidants”.
