European Geodesy Forum - Towards a sustainable Global Geodetic Reference Frame: European Contribution

The UN-GGIM: Europe and the UN-GGIM Subcommittee on Geodesy, convened the European Geodesy Forum which was held as a virtual event on 23 June 2021. This was a follow up of the Global Geodesy Forum held on Earth Day, 22 April 2021.

Titled “Towards a sustainable Global Geodetic Reference Frame: European Contribution”, and with a panel from UN-GGIM: Europe and members of the UN-GGIM Subcommittee on Geodesy, the main focus of the forum was to seek feedback from European Member States, as part of our regional consultation on the two papers prepared by the Subcommittee on Geodesy which will be finalized and tabled at the 11th Session of UN-GGIM:

• Position Paper on Sustaining the Global Geodetic Reference Frame
• Concept Paper on Establishing a Global Geodetic Centre of Excellence

The aim of the forum was to generate further support for the work of the Subcommittee on Geodesy and the forthcoming establishment of the UN Global Geodetic Centre of Excellence in Bonn, Germany. This webinar was intended for European participants as part of our regional consultation on the two papers prepared by the Subcommittee on Geodesy.
