Abstract
‘Contemporary issues in aviation education and research’ is the theme
for the inaugural Aviation Education and Research Conference to be
held in Blenheim on the 29-30 July as part of the New Zealand Aviation
Conference week.
The conference is being organised by the Massey University School of
Aviation in conjunction with the Aviation Industry Association of New
Zealand.
“This event is intended as a forum for disseminating research and
discussing current issues in aviation, with an emphasis on bridging
theory and practice,” says Mr Ashok Poduval, General Manager
of the Massey University School of Aviation, “It will also present
an opportunity for ‘a meeting of the minds’ for academics and
practitioners in the aviation industry.”
The two day conference has generated a lot of interest within New Zealand as well as in Australia and the wider
international academic community, with many attendees and presenters crossing the Tasman to be part of this
event.
“We are very pleased with the response,” adds Dr Robert Yaansah, Postgraduate Programmes and Research
Coordinator of Massey School of Aviation. “A wide range of papers have been received from academics,
representing a good cross section of universities within the Australasia region. Additionally, a number of our PhD
Aviation students are presenting papers related to their research. This conference should establish that the region
has an academic community with a strong focus on aviation education and research, as good as elsewhere in the
world.”
