GNSS and geo-positioning experts from across Europe met in Prague last week for the Galileo Application Congress Prague 2012.
Summit intends to analyse and discuss the uses and applications made available when Europe’s GPS equivalent, Galileo, goes online. The system is expected to have a very wide range of effects, from aiding with GNSS-reliant surveying and monitoring equipment, to helping improve mapping and navigation services and providing further satellite positioning capabilities for military and defence organisations.
The event will take place at the Prague Marriott Hotel on January 26-27.
Delegates attending the summit will include policy makers and stakeholders in Galileo. Seminars, addresses and networking events will give them the opportunity to meet with experts and industry representatives from all across the EU and the European satellite navigation community, to discuss the development of the applications of Galileo.
The congress will feature keynote speeches by Mr PetrNeÄas, the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic, and Mr Antonio Tajani, the vice-president of the European Commission responsible for Enterprise and Industry.
