Zdobyslaw Goraj\u2019s career at the Warsaw University of Technology (WUT) began in 1973, initially as Professor Assistant at <\/span>
flight dynamics then taking over as Head of the Design Department, and later held the position of Vice-Dean of the Faculty <\/span>
of Per and Aeronautical Engineering.<\/span><\/p>


In 2006 he created Polish Society of Aeronautics and Astronautics and served as his first President (2006-2008). <\/span>
Prof. Goraj is an Associate Editor and member of editorial boards of a few aeronautical journals including J. of Aerospace <\/span>
Engineering, J. of Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology, Aviation and others. Initiator & main organiser of the <\/span>
International Conferences starting from \u201cResent Research and Design Progress in Aeronautical Engineering and its <\/span>
Progress on Education (RRDPAE)\u201d and changed next into \u201cResearch and Education for Aircraft Design (READ)\u201d (1994<\/span>
2014). Author of numerous scientific papers (more than 100). Doctor Honoris Causa of 2 foreign universities: Moscow <\/span>
State Aviation Institute and Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, AIAA member; ICAS Programme Committee member <\/span>
and ICAS Executive Committee member (2020-2021), member of EASN (European Aeronautics Science Network, 2006<\/span>
2018) Board of Directors, Member of ACARE plenary (2020). President of CEAS (Council of European Aerospace <\/span>
Societies), 2019-2020. Had supervised and promoted 13 Ph.D. Prof. Goraj was extremally efficient in application for <\/span>
research grants, mainly from European Union. Important international and domestic projects include UAVNET, CAPECON, <\/span>
NACRE, SIMSAC, HISAC, PPLANE, SAMONIT, PW-100, AFLONEXT, CENTRLINE.<\/span><\/p>


More than 30 years ago he noticed that the aeronautical sciences and aerospace industry are by nature international. <\/span>
Coming from this thesis in 1994 he decided to organise the international meetings, called further Seminars and devoted <\/span>
just to coupling of research and education. In the period of 1994-2008 these seminars were held in Warsaw, Vilnius, Riga, <\/span>
Tallin, Brno attracting 915 participants presenting 594 papers and 300 published in proceedings or regular journals. The <\/span>
objectives of Seminar included organising on multinational basis, a forum for discussion and interchange of aeronautical <\/span>
problems and subjects with special stress to their influence on university education; promoting international co-operation in <\/span>
the study of such problems in aeronautical science and technology wherever there is a common interest and facilitating <\/span>
personal contacts between university lecturers and industry engineers. Prof. Goraj personally believed that RRDPAE <\/span>
Seminars had played a very positive role in preparation of East-European teams to compete for the projects in FP <\/span>
programmes. Its philosophy is very simple \u2013 mutual relations create an additional value, a kind of synergy and can <\/span>
accelerate the overall progress in Aeronautics.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
