Following in the footsteps of China and Germany, the world of aeronautics and aerospace is now meeting in Paris, France. For its 11th edition, to be held from November 13 to 15, the international symposium on non-destructive testing (NDT) in aerospace will bring together academics and industrialists on the theme of innovation. It is co-organized by Cofrend (the French Confederation for Non-Destructive Testing) and CEA List, and counts two major French manufacturers, Safran and Airbus, among its sponsors.
This is a first for France, which ranks 2nd in the world aerospace industry, with sales of $70 billion and some 190,000 employees. Every four seconds, an aircraft in the world takes off with an engine assembled in the Paris Region! According to Cofrend, being chosen as host country confirms the recognition of French know-how in the field of non-destructive testing.
For three days, this major international event will bring together the world's leading experts in the field of NDT. Its aim is to promote exchanges on the latest scientific and technical advances in the field of non-destructive testing and evaluation, which is used and expected in the aerospace sector. Participants will be able to discover the latest advances in R&D on the one hand, and discuss advanced and innovative methods with both scientists and industrial researchers on the other.
This 11th edition will focus on automation, digitization and connectivity. It will be hosted by Saclay, a world-class university cluster, grandes écoles and research organizations, as well as major groups and technology SMEs, making it one of the world's leading innovation hubs.
