On 17 Sept 2019 Dr. Iryna Heiets hosted the first workshop on coopetition strategy for airlines, which was organised by the School of Engineering and Global Business Innovation ECP.

The aim of the workshop was to bring a new understanding of the perspectives of coopetition for airlines. It investigated how best to co-create and co-innovate in the industry, from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Researcher engagement was provided through collaboration in coopetition and innovation between researchers from European and Australian Universities. The practical component involved industry engagement events with professionals from the airline industry.

This workshop united scholars with different background and experienced practitioners. The invited lectures and speakers were Associated Professor at Sumy State University (Ukraine) Dr. Hanna Shvindina, Senior Lecturer in Aviation at RMIT University Dr. Iryna Heiets, Executive Manager Government, Industry & International Affairs of Qantas and Jetstar Rohan W. Garnett, CEO of Friendly Avia Support (Lithuania) Aleksandr Lanecki, Senior Industry Fellow at RMIT University Paul Fox, Director of FSF's Basic Aviation Risk Standard (BARS) program David Anderson.
