Vážená verejnosť, nielen odborná ale aj laická, je našou povinnosťou aj na tomto mieste informovať o závažnej skutočnosti, ktorú sme sa dozvedeli na základe emailového oznámenia verejného obstarávateľa (Odbor verejného obstarávania, Ministerstvo vnútra Slovenskej republiky) dňa 23.3.2017.

With both the European Union’s (EU) global flagship space programmes, Galileo and Copernicus, now delivering services to users around the world, for the first time the EU - represented by the European Commission and the European GNSS Agency (GSA) - will have a strong presence at the 33rd Space Symposium event, held 2-6 April in Colorado Springs, USA.

The first week of April sees the opening of the 33rd Space Symposium in Colorado Springs, Colorado, U.S.A. This much-anticipated annual event will bring together more than 10,000 space leaders from around the world to discuss, address and plan for the future of space.
The Space Symposium over the years has become widely known as the premier U.S. space policy and program forum, but this year attendees will see a stronger international presence with the European Commission and the European GNSS Agency (GSA) featured prominently throughout the four-day program (3-6 April).

According to GSA Executive Director Carlo des Dorides, the larger EU profile at the event this year reflects the December 2016 Declaration of Galileo Initial Services.

EU Commissioner Elżbieta Bieńkowska and GSA Executive Director Carlos des Dorides are among the EU officials presenting the EU’s flagship space programmes at the upcoming 33rd annual Space Symposium.

“While Copernicus has been in operation since 2014, the 2016 Galileo declaration means that it has moved from a system in testing to one that is now operational,” explains des Dorides. “This transition puts Galileo at the centre of discussions on how to leverage and incorporate Galileo signals and services in devices serving a wide range of applications.”

Along with Mr. des Dorides, the European Union Space Programmes will be represented at this year’s Space Symposium by EU Commissioner for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs, Elżbieta Bieńkowska, European Commission Deputy Director General, Pierre Delsaux, and European Commission Director for Galileo, Matthias Petschke.

The European Union will also host a stand at the Symposium exhibition for attendees to meet EU officials and learn more about the services offered by the EU Flagship Space Programmes, Galileo, EGNOS and Copernicus. Space Symposium attendees are also invited to a meet and greet reception at the EU exhibit stand on Tuesday evening (4 April) from 6-8 p.m.

GSA also partners in Space Generation Fusion Forum 2017

For the first time, the GSA will partner in the Space Generation Fusion Forum, providing insights on the ‘Space to Earth’ track. 2017 marks the sixth edition of the event. Held in conjunction with the Space Symposium, the two-day Fusion Forum (2-3 April) will gather young adults from various areas of space – government, industry, and academia.

As part of GSA participation, it has awarded a Space Generation Fusion Forum scholarship. The ‘Young GSA – New Navigation Horizons Scholarship’ invited European students and young professionals to share their views in a 30-second video and 400-word essay on the possibilities that Galileo in a multi-GNSS world can bring to society, business and European integration.

Are you an EU-based GNSS company looking to increase your competitiveness, take your idea to the next level or bring a product to market? Then apply today for free consultancy sessions from some of Europe’s top European researchers and experts.

The Horizon 2020 funded e-Knot project aims to tighten the links between research and industry by supporting new and innovative ideas based on global navigation satellite systems (GNSS). In support of this objective, the project is continuing its industry voucher programme that offers free consultancy sessions for EU-based GNSS companies from leading European researchers and experts.

The deadline is 30 April 2017, so be sure to apply today!

A case study in success

This is a unique, one-of-a-kind opportunity to learn from leading European researchers and to gain a crucial competitive advantage. But don’t take our word for it. Just ask ThingsOnAir founder Guido Weppler.

A German company, ThingsOnAir produces a scalable GNSS navigation solution for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) – a solution that benefited immensely from the voucher programme. According to Weppler, the e-Knot vouchers enabled his company to enlist the help of recognised GNSS experts from the Politecnico di Torino (Italy). These experts performed a detailed review and critical analysis of an algorithmic approach that was crucial to the company’s success.

“Their expert assessment and feedback included vital pointers and new product enhancements that would have been impossible for us to discover and assess on our own,” says Weppler. “I believe the e-Knot programme, in its work to connect SMEs with research, is a winning strategy for everyone.”

Through the voucher programme, the company was also matched with a student working on a Masters in Navigation and Related Applications. That student is now a full time employee at ThingsOnAir.

Top 5 reasons you should apply for the e-Knot industry vouchers

1. They’re free!
2. Innovation focused
3. Increase your competitiveness
4. In-depth understanding of market trends
5. Infuse top-level research into your entrepreneurial endeavours

The details

The month-long consultancy services are tailored to the specific needs of the requesting company and can include assessing an innovative idea, reviewing a new concept or analysing roadblocks – to name just a few. Companies can also work with GNSS students by providing an internship opportunity, training a post-graduate student or co-funding a PhD student.

Vouchers are available to any company operating in an EU country. If accepted, the 4-week consultancy services will be provided from one of the four academic partners without any financial contribution required.

To apply, applicants must first submit an online Expression of Interest that includes information on their company, a description of the topic and an explanation of how they will benefit from the vouchers.

Deadline for applications is 30 April 2017. More details can be found here.
