Next April’s Toulouse Space Show will provide a good deal of company for the European Navigation Conference (ENC-GNSS 2008).

In addition to the annual European Frequency and Time Forum (EFTF 08), which joined ENC-GNSS 2007 this year at TimeNav ’07 in Geneva, Switzerland, events include a Space Applications symposium sponsored by the French space agency CNES, a commercial exhibition, and associated events for the general public, students, and young people, to promote the value of space applications in daily life.

SPACEAPLI08

Centre National d’Etudes spatiales (CNES) is organizing the Space Applications symposium to discuss earth observation space systems, telecommunications, and positioning and navigation applications. It follows up the first space applications colloquium held in Toulouse in December 2006.

The SPACEAPLI 08 conference languages are English and French. Paper abstracts are due on November 15, 2007.


ENC-GNSS 2008

Organized by the European Group of Institutes of Navigation (EUGIN) and the French Institution of Navigation (IFN), the ENC-GNSS 2008 will focus on the performance of the world’s GNSS systems, their space and ground segments, and new developments in mobile user equipment. The paper submission deadline is November 15, 2007.

EFTF08

The European Frequency and Time Forum is now in its 22nd year. The EFTF is organized and hosted by a different European country each year and covers new research, development, and manufacturing technology in the field. The planning committee is accepting papers on their website through October 31, 2007
