The workshop is one of the mechanisms by which the AD4 project consortium is able to present its work to interested parties in the Air Traffic Control domain. Essentially its purpose was twofold, to publicise and demonstrate the work-in-progress of the partners, and also to improve exploitation prospects for the consorium and its partners.

The title of the workshop indicated the context of the workshop: “from the present to the future ATC: the final results of the AD4 project”.

The workshop was organised by ENAV and NEXT. The themes were developed and each partner contributed a presentation or part of a presentation. Invites were sent to key personnel in the domain and the conference facilities booked at the CRAV (Centro Regionale Assistenza al Volo) centre at Ciampino Airport in Italy. The presentations were viewed and standardised, and posters created by NEXT, each partner contributed parts as required.

The workshop hall was split into two parts the presentation room and a demonstration room for the AD4 joint demonstrations.
