The 2019 edition of the Galileo Masters opened for submissions on May 1. Since it began in 2004, the Galileo Masters has scouted for the most forward‐thinking applications based on Galileo and EGNOS. Innovators and entrepreneurs are now invited to submit their innovative solutions to the competition by 31 July.
The Galileo Masters seeks to award applications, services and new ideas that use Galileo and EGNOS to respond to pressing challenges facing business and society. The most innovative solutions will be able to share in more than EUR 1 million worth of cash prizes. Sounds interesting? Then why not apply for this year’s competition? To register, click here.
In addition to the cash prizes, the winners will be able to take advantage of business development opportunities, tailored E-GNSS Accelerator business support packages worth EUR 62,000, a crowd funding campaign worth EUR 35,000, and much more.
New in the 2019 edition is a synergy challenge by the European GNSS Agency (GSA) and the European Commission, targeting solutions using Earth observation data combined with Galileo/EGNOS georeferenced data. In another new development, this year the competition is structured in two class categories– ‘Start-up of the Year’ and ‘Idea of the Year’ - both of which are sponsored by the GSA. The start-up category aims to identify the year’s best GNSS-enabled prototype, product or product idea by start-ups from around the world and help them to scale up; while the ideas class will encourage innovative solutions and help turn their ideas into reality.
“The GSA has been a partner of the Galileo Masters for 11 years already, and during this time the competition has consistently generated exciting ideas that leverage European GNSS to create economic opportunities and improve people’s lives. I am very interested to see what this year’s competition delivers, not only in terms of innovative EGNSS-based solutions, but also ideas that exploit the synergies between Galileo and Copernicus,” said GSA Executive Director Carlo des Dorides.
In addition to the two general categories, participants also submit their solutions to be eligible for one of six special prizes:
There is also a Regional Challenge, where participants can choose a challenge set by a regional partner from around the world that best matches their business case. The regional partner organisations include national space agencies, ministries, space clusters, universities, and incubators.

Jedním z nejzávažnějších témat současnosti je určitě voda. Její dostatek a nedostatek, změny v její distribuci, naše hospodaření s touto klíčovou surovinou a známé i méně známé jevy, které voda ovlivňuje – to vše (a ještě mnohem více) je předmětem rozsáhlé výstavy Voda & civilizace, kterou můžete po celý květen navštívit na pražské Kampě.
Autorem koncepce výstavy a mnoha odborných textů je profesor Miroslav Bárta, ředitel Českého egyptologického ústavu. Na jednotlivých tématech pak pracovali odborníci z několika desítek českých vědeckých institucí (za všechny například Česká geologická služba, Český hydrometeorologický ústav, Povodí Vltavy), ale také třeba Scrippsův institut pro oceánografii a univerzita v San Diegu v Kalifornii. Společnost ARCDATA PRAHA k výstavě přispěla mapami a vizualizacemi.
Výstava je do 28. května umístěna na náměstí Na Kampě hned u Karlova mostu a je veřejně přístupná. Vstup je volný.
Reportáž o zahájení výstavy si můžete prohlédnout například na stránkách PRAHA TV.

Innovation procurement can deliver solutions to public interest challenges and may be an interesting new instrument for European GNSS (EGNSS). To explore these opportunities, the European GNSS Agency (GSA) hosted the “EGNSS Innovation procurement opportunities within Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe” workshop at its Prague headquarters on 11 April 2019.
The workshop was held as part of the European Commission project “Analysis to define the potential use of Innovation Procurement (PCP/PPI) within Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe EGNSS market uptake calls”. It gave the participants an opportunity to learn about innovation procurement instruments; share their views on EGNSS R&D and the pilot pre-commercial procurement call for EGNSS planned for October 2019; and learn about the rules and conditions for participation in European Commission-funded projects to resolve public challenges.
Welcoming the participants, GSA Head of Market Development Fiammetta Diani said that to support EGNSS market uptake, the GSA adopts an integrated approach built on market and user knowledge, support for market demand, and the creation of offers through new products and services.
She said that research and development programmes currently address needs all along the value chain, from navigation service provision to the end user, but that new downstream R&D funding tools would be needed after 2020 as the market and Galileo will change.

“It will be necessary to significantly increase the budget of Horizon Europe compared to Horizon 2020 in order to complete market uptake in longer-term regulated segments. An increased budget will also be needed to position Galileo as a leader in market segments where its differentiators make an impact, and to support the export potential of EU industry,” Diani said.
She added that new funding tools would be required to cope with new needs. “A lot has been achieved thanks to current R&D initiatives, but now it is time to move forward and prepare the background for Horizon Europe and the EU Space Programme.”
Tina Mede, from the European Commission’s Directorate General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs (DG GROW) highlighted some of the reasons why innovation procurement is important. She explained that Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) is used when there are no near-to-market solutions available and more R&D is required, while Public Procurement of Innovative solutions (PPI) is used when these solutions are almost ready or partially available on the market.
Mede stressed that the public sector is an important user of EGNSS applications and that, through pre-commercial procurement, EGNSS applications can be adapted to the specific needs of public authorities. She said that suppliers are also interested in the public sector as a ‘first customer’ for innovative EGNSS products.
Mede cited recommendations from the last Galileo User Consultation Platform, held during European Space Week in Marseille in December, which called for the use of innovative procurement schemes to be strengthened in order to stimulate the demand-side of innovation.
Regarding the 5th EGNSS call - Pilot on Pre-commercial Procurement of EGNSS applications for public authorities, planned for October this year, Mede said that this call aimed to launch demand-driven innovation actions by public authorities. Among promising applications, she mentioned Mobility as a Service (MaaS), cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems, helicopter emergency medical services, EGNSS to support port operations, among other applications.
Marco Bolschi, Principal Consultant at VVA, highlighted some of the main results of the European Commission’s PCP/PPI analysis. He said that procurers should be innovation-oriented and enthusiastic about cross-border cooperation. Furthermore, they should have a concrete need and the investment should be worthwhile in terms of operational and public benefits.
And this: GSA opens new GSMC invitation to tenders
Bolschi highlighted some examples of promising applications for a potential PCP project, as revealed by the analysis. These include public safety applications, such as civil drones for emergency response; GNSS-based earthquake early warning systems; and the modernisation of Professional Mobile Radio (PMR) with improved performance in terms of position refresh rate, accuracy and battery life.
In the maritime and inland waterways sector, PCP can be used to improve port management through smart port systems and to secure the use of EGNOS corrections in IALA beacons and Automatic Identification System base stations.
The analysis also generated some recommendations for public procurers, who should start with defining a shared EGNSS-related need and inform themselves of any relevant legislation, standards, IPR and certification in the particular EGNSS area of application. Focusing the scope of the application will also help shape a manageable project.
Procurers should inform themselves – the more they learn about the state-of-the-art of the offer, the more effective the procurement will be. Finally, communication is particularly important – both with other procurers and with potential suppliers.
Meade noted some of the work still to be concluded as part of the PCP/PPI analysis, including a review of the impact of PCP/PPI implementation in other R&D activities, an analysis of interesting EGNSS applications for the introduction of PCP/PPI, and mapping the needs of relevant public institutions.
It is also planned to draft recommendations for an EGNSS innovation procurement implementation strategy using a number of pilot cases, and to organise a workshop with interested stakeholders to raise awareness.

Our protective magnetic field is always restless, but every now and then something weird happens – it jerks. Although scientists have known about these rapid shifts for some 40 years, the reason why they occur has remained a frustrating mystery, until now.
The GSA is launching a new testing campaign for receiver manufacturers: The machine guidance testing campaign for agriculture receivers.
Within this testing campaign, receivers usually used for machine guidance tasks will be thoroughly tested for their performance in various test cases, looking at multi-constellation and multi-frequency combinations and using several augmenting techniques.
Given the accuracy requirement differential between machine guidance and automatic steering applications, less demanding applications from the point of view of accuracy will be the primary focus. However, independently from the application accuracy requirement, the relative (so called ‘pass-to-pass’) and more importantly absolute accuracy of the receiver will also be evaluated.
In order to enable a fair comparison between the receivers and to prevent another error source from machine guidance subsystems, the campaign will only focus on the GNSS accuracy part and not on the machine guidance systems as a whole.
The testing campaign is targeting agriculture receiver manufacturers looking for an independent assessment of Galileo implementation into their products, and assistance with any issues linked to this implementation.
Manufacturers stand to benefit from the independent testing – the GSA will conduct neutral test cases and provide objective results. The campaign is also completely free to the manufacturers. It aims to support the industry in implementing Galileo in their receivers. Based on the testing, the manufacturer will receive a confidential comparative analysis of the results with anonymised partial results of the others.
In order to assess the correct implementation of Galileo, the receivers under testing should have the capacity to enable and disable specific GNSS constellations and frequencies, be able to function in Galileo-only mode and, ideally, support SBAS, RTK and PPP positioning modes. During the tests the receivers should also be able to provide information on position, the number of tracked satellites and DOP values, as NMEA output.
The testing campaign is planned to start in June 2019 and will run at least until the end of the year. However, as the receivers will all be tested at the same time, it is necessary to have them shipped by 17 May 2019.
Interested receiver manufacturers are invited to send an email to market@gsa.europa.eu, with the subject Galileo testing campaign of machine guidance receivers, indicating their interest in participating.
