| IRGAL FINAL WORKSHOP: FOCUS ON GNSS INNOVATION |
IRGAL Final Workshop will be held in Torino on the 21st of October 2008. The one-day workshop will take place at ALTEC Centro Spaziale Multi-Funzionale (Multi-Functional Space Centre), corso Marche 79, 10146 Torino.
Among other high-tech facilities, the Centre hosts the ALTEC "Shuttle-MPLM Mission Support Centre” and “Engineering Support Centre”, respectively integrated into the NASA and ESA Ground Control Centre networks.
The participants to IRGAL final workshop will have the opportunity to:
- Listen to the latest Galileo news from institutions, R&D and industry leaders.
- Learn about IRGAL project results in the fields of Time applications, GNSS Software Receivers and RF front-ends.
- Attend demonstrations of the IRGAL enabling technology platforms and working prototypes in the Exhibition area.
- Meet IRGAL researchers and professionals and discuss potential collaborative follow-up.
- Understand how to exploit IRGAL technologies to be more competitive in the GNSS market.
