E-CONTRAIL Presents Key Advances at the 2025 Contrail Workshop in London

The E-CONTRAIL project participated in the 2025 Contrail Workshop, organised by Contrails.org and hosted at Imperial College London. The event brought together leading scientists and experts to exchange the latest findings on the formation, evolution, and climate effects of aviation-induced clouds.

Our colleagues from the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) presented two major contributions from E-CONTRAIL.

Manuel Soler introduced “ “Insights into Contrail Modelling: A Multi-Physics Eulerian Framework for Long-Term Contrail Evolution”, presenting a new modelling approach that improves the simulation of contrail dynamics and radiative effects.

Irene Abuja shared “AI-Based Insights into Aviation’s Climate Impact Using Satellite Imagery in the E-CONTRAIL Project”, highlighting the use of advanced AI techniques and satellite observations to monitor contrails and quantify their radiative forcing across Europe.
