SYNOPSIS: The sponsor will support research to; assess the overall usefulness of the AEROS simulation tool and its scenarios, and, provide recommendations, as applicable, to ensure its effectiveness as a training tool for the airport industry. The research should include: 1. An evaluation of the AEROS simulation software compared to other simulation software tools from other industries (Special Note- The industries that could be considered for comparisons of simulation software include nuclear power, military, hospital, public safety, and other transportation modes) to determine best practices that are effective in training novice through expert-level responders in their roles and responsibilities in emergency response. 2. Field evaluations and usability reviews of the AEROS tool and its scenarios to determine usefulness to airports. Evaluations of all scenarios should be conducted, be geographically diverse, include responders from each anticipated EOC role, represent Index A-E airports, and allow all participants an opportunity to provide feedback. 3. Definition of the audience(s) where the tool will provide the most value to the airport industry, including the best way to familiarize the user community(s) with the use of the tool. --------------------------------------------------------------- Program Number: 17605 --------------------------------------------------------------- ***Deadlines: 12/28/2012 Sponsor: Royal Aeronautical Society Title: Aerospace Speakers' Travel Grants (AeSTG) Contact: David Houston Tel: 44 0 20 7670 4326 Email: david.houston@aerosociety.com Website:          http://aerosociety.com Full Program:          http://aerosociety.com/Careers-Education/travelgrants SYNOPSIS: The Aerospace Speakers’ Travel Grants (AeSTG) are focussed on, but not exclusive to, young people at the beginning of their aerospace-related careers planning to present a paper on their research to an audience of their peers at a conference.
