| Aims and Objectives
Aerospace demands the highest standards of professionalism and the ever
increasing competitive pressures to achieve world class performance are bringing renewed emphasis on the need for professional development on the part of
aerospace practitioners of all disciplines. The professional institutions
have a responsibility to respond to this need in a coordinated manner and
indeed play a vital role in the development of all disciplines involved.
The RAeS has members in all disciplines of aerospace, whilst The IET and
IMechE have a professional network and a division, respectively, bringing together their particular
specialists in aerospace.
There is a need to ensure that the Institutions are perceived as being of
relevance to and meet the needs of current and future aerospace practitioners.
Depending on their specific interests, disciplinary speciality and career
aspirations, aerospace professionals may elect to choose to become a member
of one or more of the relevant institutions. Whatever their choice, the
Institutions need to ensure that they have access to the widest possible
portfolio of aerospace professional activities and services. For this reason
significant cooperation exists between three bodies with joint events and
interchange of ideas.
The Aerospace Partnership has been developed in response to the foregoing
needs. It aims to harmonise the various strengths of the constituent Institutions
in devising and implementing their programmes of activities in support of
the aerospace community. This will encompass such activities as conferences,
lectures, courses, information services, publications and public affairs.
The harmonisation process will aim to avoid conflict or duplication of events,
to promote joint ventures wherever this is advantageous and to maximise the
visibility of such activities to the widest possible audience.
The specific aims and objectives of the Partnership are:
