8 Foreword The SESAR JOINT UNDERTAKING ( SESAR JU) is a key enabling organisation for the modernisation of European and global air traffic management, and the coordination and concentration of all air traffic management-related research and innovation efforts in the EU. Since its establishment in 2007, the SESAR JU, together with its Members and partners, has provided a significant return on the original EU investment. It delivers high-performance solutions in accordance with the European Air Traffic Management Master Plan and its performance ambition in terms of capacity, cost-efficiency, environmental efficiency and safety.

9 It thus stimulates growth across the aviation sector and generates employment. It also firmly contributes to other tangible societal benefits such as decarbonisation and the reduction of aviation's environmental footprint. By successfully implementing the SESAR 2020 Programme, the SESAR JU leverages digital technology in air traffic management. It will continue to provide the most efficient way of implementing research and innovation for Europe, further contributing to the delivery of the Single European Sky and the broader EU Aviation Strategy, while providing investors with a sound return on investment.

10 Additionally, the SESAR JU continues to reinforce the role of the EU as a global actor in the field of aviation. The SESAR JU's Single Programming Document 2019 2021 (SPD 2019-2021 ) builds upon previous successes and outlines the ongoing roadmap to the successful implementation of the SESAR 2020. Programme and of the other SESAR JU missions over the next three years. This document describes six strategic areas of operation (the ones already described in the SPD 2018-2020) that the SESAR JU will pursue during the reporting period. While delivering on its strategic objectives, the SESAR JU will remain committed to strengthening its effective and efficient organisation by continually improving its processes, procedures, performance and risk management, and ICT infrastructure, and by investing in its talented people.
