This will be the 15th meeting of all of the member organzations, who will discuss the science and practice of navigation and related technologies.
Congress chair František Vejražka, Czech Technical University, said, "Our demands on navigation, on its accuracy and reliability are rapidly growing. That is why navigation systems utilize the latest theoretical knowledge of physics and mathematics and therefore use the most advanced technologies. That is why we must monitor their latest developments. A very efficient way to do this is to meet in person!"

Started by British, French and German Institutes of Navigation in 1957,
IAIN now consists of member organizations from all over the world. It has consultative status with the International Maritime
Organization (IMO), the ICAO, civil aviation organization, ICAO, the UN’s
International Committee on GNSS, the International Hydrographic
Organization (IHO) and the United States PNT Advisory Board. It is
presently promoting an international institutional
solution for a Global
Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and is also encouraging the
interoperability of a navigation and communication system infrastructure for
use on land, at sea, in the air and in space.
