The EUSOME Excellence Hub is a 4-year European project dedicated to advancing Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) in the region. By addressing challenges in transport, emergency response, and climate adaptation, the project aims to integrate AAM into everyday life through innovation, training, and public engagement and to create a sustainable and transformative future for Southeast Europe.

To overcome these challenges, EUSOME is developing an open research and innovation infrastructure, mentoring and training programs, a masterplan for adopting EASA’s AAM regulations, and services to support AAM implementation. A key initiative is the EUSOME Thematic Innovation Hub (TIH), which will explore open-access policies, market potential, and consultancy services while promoting public engagement for AAM acceptance.

The project aims to deliver scientific, economic, and societal benefits by enhancing workforce skills, fostering innovation, creating job opportunities, and accelerating AAM adoption tailored to regional needs.

EUSOME is led by the KIOS Center of Excellence at the University of Cyprus and involves 16 partners, including research institutions, aircraft manufacturers, civil aviation authorities, and innovation experts, working together to shape the future of air mobility in the region.

​The EUSOME project is funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101187121.
