We’re excited to invite you to a one-day in-person workshop run by the ALIGHT project, with support from ARC,

who are kindly hosting us on their premises.

The EU Horizon 2020 project ALIGHT (alight-aviation.eu) is addressing environmental challenges in aviation by integrating Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) and smart energy solutions at airports. Through large-scale demonstrations at Copenhagen Airport, ALIGHT has developed innovative approaches to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support international climate targets. As part of its broader outreach strategy, ALIGHT is hosting a series of workshops to share key findings, foster dialogue, and shape future collaborations.

This workshop will present ALIGHT’s key findings and recommendations while facilitating discussions with stakeholders, experts, and policymakers. Special emphasis will be placed on:

• Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) and alternative propulsion
• Smart energy supply and management for airports
• Broader sustainability strategies within the airport ecosystem

The discussions will also connect ALIGHT’s findings to key EU policy initiatives such as Fit for 55, ReFuelEU Aviation, and the European Green Deal, outlining how airports can align with upcoming regulatory frameworks and sustainability goals.

The workshop will bring together partners from the ALIGHT consortium as well as external experts and stakeholders from policy making, industry, NGOs and consultants.
