Airbus has invited students from UAE universities to participate in a global competition to develop new ideas for a greener aviation industry.
The aircraft manufacturer is offering a grand prize of €30,000 for winners and €15,000 for runner-ups as part of its ‘Fly Your Ideas’ (FYI) competition.
The biennial contest involves three progressively challenging rounds judged by a panel of Airbus and industry experts. It concludes with a final at next summer’s International Paris Airshow - Le Bourget, France.
“Fly Your Ideas is a unique opportunity for students to be part of Airbus’ vision for an eco-efficient aviation industry of the future. The competition is designed to stimulate ideas for both a more connected and sustainable world. It also enables Airbus to engage with students and research teams to identify R&T opportunities to balance the increased demand for air travel with a better environment,” stated Charles Champion, Airbus executive vice president of engineering and FYI patron.
Students of any age, nationality, gender or discipline – from engineering to marketing; business to science; philosophy to design – are invited to take part.
To enter FYI 2011 students must register as a team of three to five members on the competition website by 30 November 2010. For further information and to register visit: www.airbus-fyi.com
