Star studded opportunity for businesses
PA 15/09 A unique event at The University of Nottingham will help give businesses in the East Midlands the opportunity to get involved with the biggest space project in Europe. 'Growing Galileo 2009' — a free one day seminar on Friday 30 January — will bring together some of the leading figures in the field of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), who will advise on the bidding process for tens of millions of Euros in EU grants for the Galileo project. 'Growing Galileo 2009', will be hosted by GRACE, the GNSS Research and Applications Centre of Excellence, in conjunction with the Location and Timing KTN. GRACE is the result of a major collaboration between The University of Nottingham and the East Midlands Development Agency. The Galileo project will comprise an international network of 30 satellites to provide a number of timing and location services. The project will provide opportunities to many businesses working in the field and potentially create thousands of new jobs. 'Growing Galileo 2009' will help these businesses make the most of the opportunity.
