KANT - Knowledge Assessment for New Technologies

Purpose and goal:

The project seeks to align Swedish and Brazilian partners in aerospace technology assessment. It involves a literature review, developing future scenarios, and criteria for technology assessment, especially in sustainable aviation. The goal is to collaboratively draft a proposal with Brazilian partners, aiming for a Ph.D. student´s long-term involvement. Long-term objectives include assessing future aerospace technologies, estimating costs, and improving early design phase assessment methods

Expected results and effects:

The project aims to enhance understanding of current technologies and practices among Swedish and Brazilian partners, conduct gap analysis between long-term goals and present tech, and foster alignment and collaboration. This includes joint research proposals, method and tool exchanges, publishing a comprehensive review article, and hosting workshops in both Brazil and Sweden.

A significant outcome is creating a common scenario for method development and a Ph.D. proposal that sets the stage for future research Approach and implementation:

The project, focusing on aerospace technology assessment, starts with a literature review to understand current methods (WP1). Key activities include selecting promising methods from literature, exchanging knowledge with Brazilian counterparts, and organizing workshops in both countries (WP2). The core activity is developing scenarios to test these methods, considering sustainability and social criteria (WP3).

The final stage involves disseminating results and drafting a proposal for extended research (WP4), laying the groundwork for future in-depth studies.
