Call for experts for the Commission Expert Group on the Human Dimension of the Single European Sky (CEGHD)

By Decision (EU) 2023/21091 the European Commission has set up the Expert Group on the Human Dimension of the Single European Sky (CEGHD or ’the group’).

The group’s tasks shall be:

• to provide expert advice to the Commission on the implementation of the single European sky as regards measures that have significant human dimension implications;
• to facilitate cooperation and coordination between the Commission and relevant stakeholders on questions relating to the implementation of Union legislation, programmes and policies on the single European sky, notably its human dimension;
• to ensure an exchange of expertise, experience and good practice among members as regards the human dimension of the single European sky.

In this context, what is known as the 'human dimension' of the single European sky includes the technical and operational changes to working practices and procedures, which impact individuals and groups of actors in the implementation of the single European sky. Working conditions and other social aspects of air traffic management are addressed in the Committee set up under Decision 98/500/EC and fall outside the scope of the group.

The Commission is calling for applications with a view to selecting members of the group.

Duly signed applications must be sent by 31 January 2024 at the latest.
