TEAM_Play Final Report (D6.3)

Abstract

Modelling of aviation’s sustainability has become more complex and requires broader assessments including environmental and socio-economic impacts in order to provide adequate decision support. The US-developed Aviation Environmental Tool Suite (including AEDT, APMT and EDS) reflects this trend by combining different models into a tool suite to allow integrated assessments. The TEAM_Play project (Tool Suite for Environmental and Economic Aviation Modelling for Policy Analysis) is a collaborative project co-funded by the FP7 Research Programme of the European Union which addresses the same requirement. It ran from December 2010 to March 2013 and included 18 partners: DLR, NLR, ENVISA, FOI, MMU, AEA, ANOTEC, Janicke Consulting, CERC, COMOTI, Snecma, Airbus, Rolls-Royce, University of Cambridge, ENAC, TAKS, National Aviation University, and LimitedSkies. The main focus of TEAM_Play was on creating a modelling framework in which existing European modelling capabilities could be combined in order to support and strengthen the European perspective in the international policy arena. The TEAM_Play tool suite also broadens the scope of potential impact assessments in order to improve awareness on additional effects, which are crucial for the aviation development but which were not yet fully addressed in earlier modelling systems (e.g. impact monetisation, third party risk, airport capacity constraints, extended forecast horizon, alignment of local, regional and global assessments). This final project report deals with the administrative activities that have been performed by the coordinator in WP6 of the project. It was the objective of WP6 to govern, manage and organise the overall project from an administrative point of view. Hence, the main pillars and activities of WP6 during the project were: • Management of legal and financial issues within the consortium and in relation with the European Commission, incl. management and maintenance of the consortium agreement incl. amendments due to consortium changes and the project extension by 4 months • Project Monitoring and Maintenance, i.e. administrative coordination of the overall project; especially communication activities, collection and management of deliverables; monitoring of milestones, and organisation of meetings; monitoring of gender aspects • Communication, i.e. provision of an internal and external point of contact
