European Rotorcraft Forum (ERF)

ERF ProgramThe European Rotorcraft Forum is one of the premier events in the rotorcraft community’s calendar, bringing together manufacturers, research centers, academia, operators and regulatory agencies to discuss advances in research, development, design, manufacturing, testing and operation of rotorcraft.

This Forum will be the 38th in a series of meetings, which take place annually across Europe, rotating around the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, The Netherlands and Russia. The first ERF was held in Southampton, England, in 1975 and the most recent in Italy.

The 38th European Rotorcraft Forum will be organized by the Netherlands Association of Aeronautical Engineers (NVvL), one of the members of the Council of European Aeronautical Societies (CEAS). It will take place in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, from September 4 to 7, 2012.

The International Committee invites authors to submit abstracts of papers for presentation at the Forum. As in previous years, the Forum sessions will cover typical aspects of rotorcraft and will be held simultaneously in various conference rooms. The abstract submittal deadline is February 28, 2012.
