Vojtech Fort presents R&D Initiatives related to European GNSS during "Satellite solutions for smarter islands" Conference organised by Eurisy in Malta. The session "Data access and funding opportunities" will give practical information on available satellite data sources, where to find them, and which are the funding mechanisms available to develop and adopt satellite-based services.

Stimulating
demand:
• cooperating with

• managing
standardization and
certification activities
• supporting to EC
regulation and policies

7. What is Galileo?
7
• Will provide Europe a fully autonomous satellite-based
positioning, navigation and timing capability , for global
high performance services.
• Is run by civil authorities.
• By offering dual frequencies as standard, Galileo will
deliver real-time positioning with metre accuracy.
• Galileo will be interoperable with other GNSS, notably
with the US GPS, which means that a user will be able to
take a position with the same receiver from any of the
satellites in any combination.
Galileo (European Global Navigation Satellite System)

8. What is EGNOS?
= European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service
• Europe's first concrete venture into satellite navigation.
• Uses geostationary satellites and a network of ground stations to
receive, analyse and augment GPS signals (in the future also Galileo).
• Makes existing GNSS signals suitable for safety critical applications.
• Increases the accuracy of existing satellite positioning signals while
providing a crucial ‘integrity message', informing users in the event of
problems.

Innovation is not only understood as new breakthrough technologies.
It also includes the use of existing technologies in novel applications, continuous
improvement, non technological and social innovation.
