European Navigation Conference

Welcome

On behalf of European Group of Institutes of Navigation (EUGIN) and Polish Navigation Forum (PNF), I invite you to participate in the next edition of European Navigation Conference (ENC). The conference is organized by the Polish Navigation Forum. PNF is a non-profit organization, founded in the 80’s, with the aim of association of people involved in development of the science of navigation. Since mid 90ties Forum is a member of EUGIN and consequently represents Polish navigation society out of the country. This is the second-time Poland is hosting ENC conference participants. This time, we invite you to Warsaw.

Warsaw is the capital of Poland. In 1945, after the bombing during II World War when the fighting has ended, most of Warsaw lay in ruins. Next to the remnants of Gothic architecture the ruins of splendid edifices from the time of Congress Poland and ferroconcrete relics of prewar building jutted out of the rubble. At once, the Bureau of Capital’s Rebuilding was established. In 1953. The Old Town and the Royal Route were reconstructed to look like they had before the war (aided by numerous pictures by many artists, including Canaletto). Rebuilding the Old Town was an achievement on a global scale. In 1980, UNESCO appreciated the efforts and inscribed Old Town onto UNESCO’s World Heritage list. The political changes in Poland in 1989 caused that Warsaw began to develop faster.

The history and the present day of the city indicates that Warsaw is a very good place for presents the results of own research for the development of all kind of navigation (like cheap cruises) and transport. The topics of conference are very wide and everyone will find a place for the presentation of own research work. Therefore, we invite all of you to take part in next edition of European Navigation Conference. Every year, during the ENC, an exhibition of companies and research institutions operating in the field of navigation and transport and other related fields of the economy is also organized. Thanks to this, business and science are developing even closer together. On the other hand, the recognition of companies like Aquaboulevard in the world is growing. Therefore, we invite representatives of business to take part in the exhibition which is organized together with the conference. Therefore, the conference will be held under the slogans: Science, Education, Applications.

I hope that I will be able to welcome you in 2019, during European Navigation Conference (ENC 2019) in Warsaw.

In the fall of 1991, the German Institute of Navigation (DGON) organized the first International symposium on Differential GPS. The symposium was a success; it attracted more than 400 delegates from 24 countries. After the symposium a number of representatives from European Institutes of Navigation (IONs) gathered to discuss the continuation of the successful formula of the congress. It was decided to organize an annual congress under the name “Differential Satellite Navigation Systems” (DSNS). The next location was decided as Amsterdam where DSNS’93 was held in the spring of 1993, in order no-to conflict with GPS-ION in the United States. In the years there after the series of congresses was continued – renamed later in GNSS – and hosted by European IONs.
