The European Society of Aerospace Medicine was founded in 2006 as an umbrella organisation in the field of Aerospace Medicine. As a pan-European, independent forum, it works to promote the safety and health of all persons involved in aviation and space operations , and to coordinate European aerospace medical interests across all national and organisational boundaries.
We aim to assist the various responsible bodies in the development and harmonisation of educational activities in aerospace medicine throughout Europe, and to develop continuous information flows and dialogue between the National Aeromedical Associations, and encourage the exchange of scientific results and experience. We strive to reach a consensus which can then contribute to the scientific evidence base which should be the foundation of aeromedical decision making.

Objective of this request
I am writing to you to request your support in distributing a survey to gather insights on factors influencing career choices in aviation. It can be distributed within your organisation/ company, amongst your network, students, professors, groups, or associations connected with you.
Translation
The survey has been translated into as many languages as possible. If you go to the tab on the top right-hand side where it says English (language by default), you can scroll and pick one of the languages that the survey has been translated into. A few that do not appear will be coming in the next few days.
Background
The survey is an integral part of EUROCAE's working group 125 proceedings. It is working on the Next Generation of Aviation Professionals (NGAP), framed as a sustainability goal for the organisation.
Recap, EUROCAE's Working Group WG125,
Working Group WG125 co-chaired by EASA's Antonio Gonzalez-Gomez, launched an initiative in January 2023 to address the potential shortage of aviation professionals in the European aviation system. Within WG125, the "connectors" subgroup is led by Catherine Bichara, an EASA external expert. “Connectors” is dedicated to bridging the gap in sharing information between educational institutions and industry, particularly in preparing and communicating the needs for future aviation skills.

The event united in Chisinau more than 60 specialists in aviation and aviation medicine (AMEs, medical assessors, psychologists, operational managers) from different states: Moldova, Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Netherlands, Norway, Belgium and Ireland. Participants shared the methods of assessment, treatment and safety management of the mental health conditions of the aviation personnel in order to ensure flight safety.
Experts from EASA-MeSafe Project presented data of the research that was done so far in diagnosis, treatment of mental health conditions which can pose a risk for aviation safety and would consequently lead to pilots’ and Air Traffic Control Officers’ unfitness.
Also, special attention was given to Peer Support Programs dedicated to civil aviation personnel from various countries.
