ENC-GNSS 2008

23-25 April 2008

European Navigation Conference

About

For twelve years, the European Group of Institutes of Navigation (EUGIN) has organized a yearly European Navigation Conference, ENC-GNSS. In 2008, the conference will take place in Toulouse on behalf of EUGIN and IFN (The French Institute of Navigation). ENC-GNSS 2008 will be held within the international week of space application, Toulouse Space Show'08, during which listeners will also have access to the European and Frequency Time Forum conference, to a conference on Space Applications and to a large exhibition. Those other events will be particularly interesting for the satellite navigation community, especially with the central role of time & frequency in navigation systems and the development of so many location-based applications.

The ENC-GNSS conference is a unique opportunity to meet all the key actors in the navigation area and to be informed on the latest development in navigation and positioning systems, techniques and their applications. High-level scientific activities will be highlighted during the conference. The performances of the GNSS systems, their space and ground segments and the user equipments are steadily improving to fulfil the need for information on location everywhere, including out-door and in-door areas. Associated with mobile communication terminals, the new navigation systems offer the opportunity to design an infinite number of new services.

A plenary session will be held to inform the community of the status of the major GNSS programmes and several sessions in parallel will deal with up-to-date topics in navigation. Posters will be presented during free times.
