Centrale Nantes students Léa Guipouy and Mathieu Robazza win 5th prize at the USAIRE Student Awards

USAIRE is an Aerospace Business Club comprising over 170 members, who are representatives and executives from the civil and defence industry and government representatives. Through various events throughout the year, the association brings its members together to provide meeting opportunities and a friendly setting for high-level discussions on space and aviation issues. 

Each year a competition is co-organised with ORAJe (Organisation des Rencontres Aéronautiques de la Jeunesse Européenne) for students on a theme related to current events: the USAIRE Student Awards.

What aviation for tomorrow's world?

Students were asked to write an essay on this theme, either individually or in pairs.
More than 100 entries were received from 133 students from 55 schools and universities in 15 different countries.  
Of the 15 entries selected by the panel, Centrale Nantes students Léa Guipouy and Mathieu Robazza were awarded 5th prize for their work on 'Transforming aviation: a committed shift towards the challenges of tomorrow'.
