The ComplexWorld Research Network aims to be the main driver for long term and innovative research in Europe in the field of ATM Complexity Management.

Specific Network objectives include:

• fostering the interaction and cross-fertilization between the Air Transport and the Complex Systems research communities,
• identifying the state-of-the-art in the relevant disciplines,
• defining and describing the main research challenges and their potential benefits for the ATM system,
• defining a comprehensive and consistent framework for pushing science and technology beyond the state of the art,
• setting direction for future research and creating a momentum of research in the field,
• assessing the impact of the different research directions on the current and future ATM systems, and
• cooperating with other WP-E Research Networks as well as with the mainstream SESAR Work Programme.

The ComplexWorld Research Network will create an open partnership between universities, research centers and industry, aiming at:

• lowering the barriers for the ATM community to have access to and benefit from Complex Systems science;
• attracting talented Complex Systems researchers towards ATM; and
• defining, developing and maintaining a clear roadmap for establishing and consolidating a research community at the intersection of Complexity and ATM of clear added value for the European Air Transport sector.
