Helping Achieve CANEUS's Mission

Drawing on the vast expertise of CANEUS membership, the CANEUS leadership help the CANEUS Organization achieve its multi-faceted mission and guide its course into the future. Serving a variety of objectives, the Strategic Committees support our members' needs … recognize their achievements … organize CANEUS workshops and activities … give them a voice in public policy … foster productive collaborations … and help them advance emerging micro-nano-technology concepts into practical aerospace systems.

Project Support

End Users Committee Chair: Dr. Bill Atwell, Boeing, USA

The End Users Committee constitutes the backbone of the CANEUS Organization, not only in terms of defining the MNT requirements for the aerospace applications, but also in helping/assisting with the current state of the concept papers and Consortia projects. Instead of the typical "Technology Push", the End-User committee comprised of potential customers/end-users is intimately involved in the concept paper definition and selection process.

It also identifies both new and emerging micro-nano-technology concepts that have the potential for aerospace commercialization, identifies champions for new Consortia projects, and identifies end-users interested to support these new emerging initiatives

Export Control and IP Chair: George Grammas, Squire Sanders, Washington, DC
