the International Technical Symposium on Navigation and Timing 2014

In 2014 the symposium was composed of three sessions: “Navigation in Constrained Environments”, ‘GNSS Signals and GNSS Peformance” and “Air Navigation”. Each session, lasting for half a day, consisted of four presentations followed by a round table that favored the interaction between the audience and the experts.

A poster session was also organized to advertise the work performed by PhD students.
