A.I.D.A.A. is the second oldest scientific aerospace society in the world.
A.I.D.A.A works by organizing conferences, workshops, roundtables, competitions with prizes for studies and research, proceedings publication, and through the international journal Aerotecnica Missili e Spazio – Journal of Aerospace Science, Technologies, and Systems.
A.I.D.A.A works closely with national and foreign cultural bodies and, in particular, is a member of the International Council of the Aeronautical Sciences, the International Astronautical Federation, and the Council of European Aerospace Societies. Every two years, the Association organizes national congresses in the regional sections to disseminate the results of the most recent studies, and aeronautics and space research outcomes.
