UNESCO, as the only organization in the UN system with a specific mandate for science and engineering, granted its patronage to Airbus Fly Your Ideas in 2012 to pursue a common goal: inspire young people to get involved in engineering and find tomorrow’s solutions.
The competition is held every 2 years, and attracted over 3,700 from 104 countries in the previous edition.
New in this latest competition, students are asked to submit solutions to genuine industry challenges that are either innovations for ‘Now’ or innovations for the ‘Future’; guaranteeing a cross section of ideas that are both applicable today and deliver blue sky thinking for tomorrow. Competing teams should propose innovative ideas addressing business models, flight operations, passenger experience, design engineering or manufacturing.
