Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the International GPS Service
IGS Symposium and Technical Workshop 2004
1 - 5 March 2004
Berne, Switzerland
Dear colleagues,
Please mark your calendars to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the
International GPS Service! On behalf of the IGS Governing Board, we
invite you to this week-long event that features a one-day Symposium
on Wednesday March 3 and Technical Workshop Series March 1-2 and 4-5.
The Symposium will recognize the unique history of the IGS as well as
looking towards the future and what is on the horizon for
international GNSS services in the next decade. The Technical
Workshop Series will focus in detail on many critical issues,
analysis results, network/communication aspects, data systems, and
the various applications addressed by the Projects, Working Groups,
and Coordinators of the IGS. There will be a few social events
during the week to meet with friends old and new, and the beautiful
city of Berne and the Alps can be explored in your leisure time or
over one of the adjoining weekends.
This event will be hosted by the Astronomical Institute of the
University of Berne, Switzerland. In 1993, a pivotal meeting was held
in Berne that laid the framework for the current organization of the
IGS and so it seems very appropriate that Berne is once again
graciously offering to host this special event. Many thanks to our
Swiss colleagues.
The first circular for the IGS Anniversary will be available in May
listing the program committee, sessions, conveners, proceedings, and
logistics, such as registration, housing and transportation.
Watch for the website, which will be set up in the near future, and
accessible from the IGS Calendar:
(igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/overview/calendar.html).
With best regards, and hoping to see you in Berne next March,
IGS Central Bureau
