Submission of abstracts (300 to 500 words) is open untill May 30, 2014. Four keywords are also required. Accepted authors will be notified by June 30, 2014. Full paper submissions will be required by July 30, 2014.

This workshop will cover subjects related to the CSSA and its individual services including implementation options, cost, quality, organisation for life cycle management and Maritime Service Portfolios (MSPs).

Registration open untill August 4, 2014

Workshop registration form and programme

The conference will focus on technology, innovation and the transfer to business applications in the PNT sector.

The conference is focusing on the present status as well as on future developments in navigation systems, with special emphasis on Galileo.

A Conference Organising Committee comprising The Royal Institute of Navigation, London, the Institute of Engineering Surveying and Space Geodesy, University of Nottingham, (UK), and the Faculty of Maritime Studies, University of Rijeka, Croatia have extended an invitation to the 6th GNSS Vulnerabilities and Solutions 2012 Conference to be held from 21st to 24th May, 2012 in Baška, Krk Island, Croatia.

This traditional and unique worldwide event aims to gather GNSS experts and focuses on GNSS problems and vulnerabilities, as well as developments aiming to improve the accuracy and reliability of GNSS. The unique environment of Baška and its natural resources and rich history, combined with friendly hospitality will again create an inspiring atmosphere for ideas and knowledge exchange, well known to those who attended the previous conferences.

The European Navigation Conference, which is going to be organized in 2012, will be the most important European event of this kind in 2012, a great chance to meet a lot of eminent people who work in the field of navigation.

The conference will also be a wonderful occasion to exchange information about the latest developments in navigation and positioning systems, navigation techniques and their applications. New technologies and latest proposals of technical, research and industrial companies, related to all kinds of human activities connected with navigation, will be presented during the conference.

Following a successful meeting in 2010, the National Maritime Museum and the Royal Institute of Navigation are planning a second symposium to bring together current research in the history of navigation.

The symposium will explore the wider impact of the ‘discovery’ of longitude and the ways in which navigation has evolved since then. In particular it will aim to investigate the connections between navigational advances and the development of exploration, surveying, commerce and empire from the 19th century to today.

Proposals for papers on these and related themes are now being sought

This year’s European Navigation Conference, ENC 2011, to be held in London, will cover advances in all aspects of location and navigation technology and their applications.

Sessions will be organised into both plenary and parallel means which will cover navigation system infrastructure and policy, technical and commercial aspects of varied applications, and safety and security issues.

Authors are invited to submit a brief outline of their presentation, not exceeding 300 words. Please note the closing date for this call for papers is 9th May 2011.

The organisation has provided us with more information and you can visit the ENC site

The International Association of Marine Aids to Navigation and Lighthouse Authorities (IALA), in conjunction with the Arabian Maritime Navigation Aids Services (AMNAS) will host an IALA training seminar on the IALA Risk Management Tool Box – PAWSA, IWRAP Mk2 & Simulation from 27th November to 1st December 2011, at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Muscat.

This seminar will be within the framework of the IALA World-Wide Academy and will show how PAWSA and IWRAP Mk2 complement each other, review the utility of PAWSA to national administrations and the need for trained facilitators and introduce the revised and recently updated IWRAP Mk2. Furthermore the seminar will also provide training on the use of IWRAP Mk2, using practical examples.

Further information can be obtained from this flyer and from this site.

The Symposium is addressed to scientists and professionals in order to share their expert knowledge, experience and research results concerning all aspects of navigation, safety of navigation and sea transportation. The goal of the TransNav is to bring together experts from the field of navigation, transport, ocean engineering and maritime technology to discuss on the state-of-the-art and to present new research findings and perspectives of future developments with respect to the conference themes.
