As in last year’s sessions, the summer school will offer a comprehensive overview on the design, development, and applications of satellite navigation systems. This year’s theme is “A Worldwide Utility.”

In addition to the fundamentals, visiting lecturers well-recognized in the field will discuss GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, Compass /Beidou and regional and augmentation systems such as the Japanese Quasi-Zenith Satellite System and the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS).

They will also cover advanced applications and international business, project management, and funding topics.

The program is open to advanced graduate students, doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers, and early-career engineers and professionals.

Cost is €1,000, which includes lectures and program materials, room, board and social events. Register online at http://www.munich-satellite-navigation-summerschool.org/summerschool2008/registration/index.html
