The Federation / institutional identity
A shared setting for a complex aerospace world.
An independent international participation platform connecting relevant organizations, institutions and professionals—without merging their identities or responsibilities.
The purpose is not to replace existing systems. It is to bring the right perspectives to questions that benefit from cooperation.
Who we areExplore the institutional landscape
How Federation functions connect.
Joining, contributing technical expertise and receiving a scope-specific decision are different relationships. Choose a function to see where your question belongs and what its outcome can mean.
MembershipA formal participation relationship.
Joining does not establish a programme appointment, technical approval or automatic Recognition.
Find your participation routeGovernanceVisible responsibility and institutional oversight.
Contribution, coordination and formal decision authority remain different functions.
Understand responsibilityTechnical WorkA defined question, relevant evidence and proportionate work.
The outcome may be guidance, research, a justified standard—or no new document.
Explore technical workRecognitionA separate acknowledgement within a defined subject and scope.
Eligible active membership is a gateway, not evidence of a Recognition outcome.
Understand member RecognitionAccreditationAssessment of competence for specified activities.
Its scope and decision must be read separately from membership or certification claims.
Explore the assessment frameworkActivities & knowledgeProfessional exchange, learning development and published work.
Each event, Academy activity and project has its own status and participation arrangements.
View activities and projectsAcross disciplines
Aviation and space share more than a horizon.
Operations, industrial capability, digital systems, research, education and technical assurance intersect throughout aerospace. Their rules and responsibilities are not interchangeable.

A place to contribute
Different participants. A considered relationship.
The first distinction is the capacity in which someone participates—not a prestige level or a company-size category.
