The 10th International Colloquium on Scientific and Fundamental Aspects of GNSS will bring together members of the European scientific community and international partners involved in the use of Galileo and other GNSS in their research.
The colloquium will address several major areas of research:
- Scientific applications in meteorology, geodesy, geodynamics, geophysics, space physics, oceanography, land surface and ecosystem studies;
- Scientific developments in physics with a potential impact on future GNSS, particularly in testing fundamental laws of physics;
- Aspects of metrology such as reference frames, on board and ground clocks, precise orbit determination and time and frequency transfer; and
- Scientific aspects of satellite navigation, positioning and its applications, such as signal propagation, precise positioning;
The conference will be organised as a series of plenary talks, parallel half day sessions and poster presentations.
The national Excellence in Surveying and Spatial Information (EISSI) awards will be presented at a gala occasion in Melbourne on 25 November, alongside the Locate conference.
The EISSI awards represent the highest level of professional recognition within the Australian surveying profession.
The event will bring together all 2026 state EISSI category winners to compete for national honours, including national category awards and the overall national award.
The award categories are:
- Infrastructure and construction
- Extra dimension and innovation
- Community & sustainable environment
