EUROAVIA Lagos Quarterly Update (April – June 2026)
The aerospace industry thrives on innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning. At EUROAVIA Lagos, we believe that students should have access to the knowledge, networks, and opportunities that will help them become future leaders in aviation and space. Throughout April, May, and June 2026, our Local Group organized a series of webinars designed to expose students and young professionals to different aspects of the global aerospace ecosystem, from international opportunities and student engineering projects to professional aircraft design practices.
Our quarter began with Your Passport to European Aerospace, held on 25 April 2026. The session featured Martin Daskalov, Backup Coordinator of the Affiliated Societies Working Group, and Anusha Aravind, Coordinator of the Business Relations Working Group. Participants were introduced to the opportunities available through EUROAVIA’s international network, including internships, scholarships, professional development programmes, and collaborations across Europe. The speakers shared practical guidance on how students can position themselves for global opportunities and maximize their involvement within the aerospace community.
On 30th May 2026, EUROAVIA Lagos hosted Build It, Test It, Fly It: Student-Led Aircraft and UAV Projects in Aerospace Engineering.
The session was delivered by Engr. Emmanuel Sheshi, who provided valuable insights into how aerospace engineering students transform ideas into functional aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicle systems. Participants learned about the complete project lifecycle, from conceptualization and design to prototyping, testing, and flight validation. The webinar highlighted the importance of hands-on experience and demonstrated how practical projects help bridge the gap between classroom learning and industry expectations.
The quarter concluded with Aircraft Design: From Concept to Final Configuration on 27th June 2026.
Led by Prof. Paul J., the webinar explored the professional aircraft design process used within the aerospace industry. Participants gained an understanding of how engineers move from mission requirements and conceptual design to detailed configuration decisions. Discussions covered aerodynamic considerations, performance analysis, systems integration, and the trade-offs that influence aircraft development. The session provided valuable industry perspectives and helped participants connect theoretical concepts learned in class with real-world engineering practice.
Together, these three events reflected PAM Lagos’ commitment to developing the next generation of aerospace professionals by providing access to industry experts, international networks, and practical engineering knowledge. By creating platforms for learning and engagement, we continue to support students and young professionals as they explore careers in aviation, aerospace engineering, and space technology.
As EUROAVIA Lagos grows, we remain dedicated to organizing impactful activities that inspire innovation,
encourage collaboration, and strengthen the aerospace community across Nigeria and beyond!
