The Council of European Aerospace Societies (CEAS) is an International Non-Profit Association, with the aim to develop a framework within which the major Aerospace Societies in Europe can work together.
CEAS presently comprises eleven Trustee Member Societies with a combined roughly 35.000 individual members: 3AF (France), AAAR (Romania), AIAE (Spain), AIDAA (Italy), CzAeS (Czech Republic), DGLR (Germany), FTF (Sweden), NVvL (Netherlands), PSAA (Poland), RAeS (United Kingdom), SVFW (Switzerland), and five Corporate Members: EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency), ESA (European Space Agency), EUROAVIA (European Association of Aerospace Students), EUROCONTROL and VKI (von Kármán Institute for Fluid Dynamics).
Established as a legal entity under Belgian law, this association began its activities on 1 January 2007. Its main mission is to add value at European level to the wide range of services provided by its Member Societies and to facilitate dialogue between them and the European institutions, governments, the aerospace and defence industry and academia. The CEAS is governed by a Board of Trustees with representatives from each of the Member Societies.
