Workshop for future Sat-Nav education, research and innovation
27 March 2007 - 28 March 2007
Austria
European investment in the Galileo system will present significant economic opportunities as new navigation applications come on stream. Innovations are already underway for controlling and planning transport on the road, at sea and in the air.
But are there education and training courses in place to provide a skilled workforce with relevant expertise in global navigation satellite systems (GNSS)?
Dynamic and creative application depends on advanced near-market R&D and appropriate support mechanisms for innovation and technology transfer. But how well is Europe doing in these areas with respect to Galileo, GNSS and how they are applied in navigation?
The ERIG project is conducting a Europe-wide review of Education, Research and Innovation in GNSS. A workshop will take place in Aalborg, Denmark on the 27 and 28 March 2007 to provide feedback on early findings from the review. Participants with an interest in securing the future competitiveness of European GNSS or with a stake in providing education or research are invited to attend and have a direct influence on future EU support to this area.
The ERIG consortium has collected data on current courses, R&D and innovation measures in GNSS and this will be made available before the workshop. For more information on how to participate, please contact Kai Borre, University of Aalborg borre@kom.aau.dkThe ERIG project is co-ordinated by ESYS plc. Partners include many of the leading educational institutions in Europe involved in GNSS (Aalborg University, Istituto Superiore Mario Boella, Politecnico di Torino, University of the Federal Armed Forces Munich, University of Nottingham and University of Porto, University or Warmia & Mazury) along with other key players withe experience in GNSS or innovation(Ecole Nationale de L'Aviation Civil, COWI A/S, France Development Conseil, The 425 Company)
ERIG started in October 2006 and will end in December 2007. See www.esys.co.uk/erig for project activities.
