ISASI 2025 Soaring to New Heights: A World of Innovation

Call for Papers

Greetings, ISASI 2025 Invitee!

It is with great pleasure that the organizing committee invites expressions of interest to present a paper at the ISASI 2025 Seminar which will be held at the Renaissance Hotel in Denver, Colorado from September 29th through October 4th. Further information on the tutorials, main program, registration, and accommodation options will be provided in due course at ISASI Seminar Website.

The theme for ISASI 2025 is “Soaring to New Heights: A World of Innovation”. Denver is known for its picturesque and grand mountain ranges which soar high over the city. Additionally, we find ourselves in an ever rapidly evolving aviation ecosystem in which we now share portions of our airspace with the growing commercial space and UAS/UAV industries. Can we keep up with these advancements as investigators? What do we need to do in order to stay one step ahead of the next incident or accident? We invite abstract submissions which support this theme, including topics such as:

• Commercial space development, technology, and mishap investigations
• New, novel, and experimental investigative technologies in accident investigation
• Research on notable technological safety improvements and their contribution to safety
• Challenges in protecting the safety, security, and continuity of increasing amounts of flight data
• Improvements and challenges in novel aircraft and engine designs
• Uncrewed and autonomous vehicle investigations
• Training of the next generation of aviation safety professionals with novel methodology
• Accident or incident case studies involving technological advancements as contributing factors to the event, or their use during the investigation
• Training of a new cadre of accident investigator in an increasingly safer operating environment as experienced investigators retire

The scope of the seminar is wide ranging. Papers are welcome from all aspects of safety investigation including operations, cabin safety, training, human factors, technology, family assistance, regulation and case studies. Papers should be supported by a 20-minute presentation with a further 10 minutes allotted for questions.

Please review the submission guidelines and deadlines below carefully.

We look forward to seeing you at ISASI 2025!
