European Commission

The research and development programmes directly managed by the European Commission are called Framework Programmes. The recent one is the Horizon 2020 which lasts from 2014 till 2020.

The EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation aims to develop a European Research Area.

One of the main instruments to achieve the European research related goals is to finance projects in different areas of life. Slot Consulting is an active participant in aeronautics related research projects. Within these projects, we cooperate with different organisations (industrial partners, universities, research establishments, SMEs) from several member states to reach a common research goal. The company also takes part in projects which support the development of other research activities.
