HILAS: Human Interaction in the Lifecycle of Aviation Systems - Collaboration, Innovation and Learning

摘要

The aims of the paper are to describe a particular network in the European aviation sector, to explain what is innovative about this network and to describe ways in which the network may evolve in the future. The paper describes the current state of the literature on human factors in aviation and shows how HILAS partners collaborate to innovate in the field of human factors. The paper highlights to what extent the HILAS partnership is novel, and wherein specifically lies that novelty. The network is sectoral rather than locational. It is an inter-organisational, cross-national, intra-sectoral, virtual cluster of actors, brought together for the purpose of a particular innovative project. The paper is about both the network and the nature of its innovation.
