Second-cycle EuMAS student flew from Madrid to Pisa on March 14 to meet their third-cycle colleagues and two representatives of the first cycle for the annual EuMAS Alumni Association meeting.

Mainly dedicated to preparing future activites of the alumni association, the meeting was a great opportunity for students of the two cycles to know each other and exchange information and ideas. Dr. Marc Fischer of Airbus, presently an ECATA delegate, gave a presentation on "Challenges of European Aerospace Integration" and was available for questions and discussion. Saturday 15, after a full day of joint work, the participants visited the space technology laboratories of Alta, a spin-off company of Università di Pisa. On Sunday 16, after much work (and a lot of fun!) the meeting was concluded with presentations from the inter-cycle working groups.
