International Conference on Research in Air Transportation
ICRAT is an established event in Air Transportation Research with a global outreach, alternating yearly with the USA/Europe Air Traffic Management (ATM) Research and Development (R&D) Seminar. ICRAT is a forum particularly encouraging young researchers (and their mentors) within air transportation to share their work, expand their professional network, practice scientific dissemination, gain new inspiration, and discover the new challenges confronting society and the market to adopt mobility in a time of critical ecological debate.
Papers should clearly state the objectives, approach, methodology and results of the research, and should draw conclusions that demonstrate the interest of the work.
Submissions by researchers are solicited on a wide range of topics describing theoretical results and innovative applications in air transportation including but not limited to the following conference topics:

About ICRAT
Following the success of its ten previous editions, ICRAT has now been established as a mainstream biennial event in Air Transport Research, alternating with the USA/Europe Air Traffic Management (ATM) Research and Development (R&D) Seminar. ICRAT is an excellent forum for young researchers within air transportation to share their work, expand their professional network, and gain new knowledge and inspiration.
ICRAT 2022, the tenth edition, was held fully in-person at the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida, USA, and included tutorials, presentations, and a forum for PhD students. These students were able to present their research problems and get advice from established scientists in the field during a doctoral symposium. In addition, there were world class keynote speakers, senior researchers that virtually sat on several panels that were able to provide constructive feedback on the papers presented during the conference.
Organized as fully in-person participation for this year's edition in Singapore, tutorials will additionally be offered to PhD students to learn from experts about useful scientific techniques and ATM related use cases.
Air Traffic Management (ATM) is defined in the ICAO ATM Global Concept document as "the dynamic, integrated management of air traffic and airspace - safely, economically, and efficiently - through the provision of facilities and seamless services in collaboration with all parties". ATM therefore encompasses airspace organization and management, flow and capacity management and en-route, terminal and airport air traffic control.
