The E-CONTRAIL project concluded on 30 November 2025 , after two years and a half of intense research since its launch in June 2023. We are extremely proud of the progress made in advancing the understanding of contrails and aviation-induced cloudiness , a major and still uncertain contributor to aviation’s non-CO₂ climate impact. Throughout the project, the consortium produced advanced AI detection tools, radiative forcing evaluations, and predictive models. These are key co

The E-CONTRAIL project participated yesterday in the EUROCONTROL Showcase Summit: Smart Sustainable Skies , hosted at EUROCONTROL Headquarters in Brussels. The event brought together aviation stakeholders committed to advancing climate-aligned operations, offering the perfect setting to present the project’s latest developments. During the Summit, the E-CONTRAIL team showcased the Policy Brief “Making Contrails Visible”  and demonstrated the interactive E-CONTRAIL Dashboard ,

The E-CONTRAIL project  will take part in the upcoming EUROCONTROL Showcase Summit. Smart Sustainable Skies: Boosting Sustainability in Aviation , held on 17–18 November 2025 at EUROCONTROL Headquarters (Brussels). E-CONTRAIL will be featured on Tuesday, 18 November, where the team will showcase the project’s Policy Brief  and the interactive E-CONTRAIL Dashboard  developed within the project, presentig key findings, datasets, and actionable insights aimed at supporting con

Today is a milestone day for E-CONTRAIL. Making Contrails Visible: AI-Based Insights into Aviation’s Climate Impact using Satellite Imagery. E-CONTRAIL project Policy Brief. We are thrilled to publicly release our Policy Brief and the illustrated comic embedded within it, “A real contrail story…”  summarizing the scientific results, key conslusions, and policy recommendations of the project. After two years of research, engineering, and iteration, we can now say it clearly:
