Friday July 4, 2025 at LEF Future Center, Utrecht
PROGRAMME
This year, the symposium will include a special event, “Navigating the Geodetic Landscape: honouring 45 years in science by Peter Teunissen, professor in Mathematical Geodesy and Positioning”, co-hosted by TU Delft, NCG, and IUGG Netherlands. Peter, who is retiring, made great contributions to the NCG, the geodetic community in the Netherlands and abroad.
The symposium also includes the annual Baarda Lecture which will be provided by Prof. Todd Humphreys (Professor of Aerospace Engineering, Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics at University of Texas at Austin). Prof. Humphreys is a world expert in the field of satellite positioning and navigation, with special emphasis on tackling GNSS disturbance signals that can seriously disrupt society.
The symposium will also include a special interactive discussion session on recent issues in geo-information science, the future of NCG and its committees, education and job opportunities. You are invited to provide suggestions regarding these and other topics to discuss in a special interactive session. Please mail your suggestions to the secretariat of the Laboratory of Geo-information Science and Remote Sensing of Wageningen University & Research.
The symposium is free of charge and intended for all researchers and students of Dutch universities, academies, companies, government agencies and institutes that are active in the fields of geodesy, geo-informatics, geo-information science and remote sensing, as well as for professionals from the business and governmental sector.
This year’s symposium will be held at the LEF Future Center in Utrecht (Griffioenlaan 2, 3526 LA Utrecht), provided by NCG partner Rijkswaterstaat.
