Advisory Network
We work closely with experts from across industry, academia, research organisations and Government.
Our Advisory Network brings together the sector’s diverse expert community to advise and make recommendations to the ATI on a wide variety of topics, structured through six Advisory Groups.
Each Advisory Group is chaired by the ATI with membership made up of senior representatives across industry, RTOs, academia and government from all corners of the UK. Advisory Groups meet at least quarterly, with the aim of discussing and advising on topics such as the challenges and opportunities that the aerospace sector is currently facing, and the development of technology roadmaps. We bring all six groups together annually to promote information sharing and debate.
