Three experts from the European Commission and private industry will evaluate the ideas and they could become part of a new incubator for GNSS infrastructure development and regional support, whose office is scheduled to open in Tunis this October.
The sponsoring project, MEDUSA, stands for Mediterranean follow up for EGNOS adoption. It is led by Rome-based Telespazio, a space services company.
MEDUSA is part of EuroMed GNSS Framework Program, which is funded by the European Commission.
