1 SEAGAL and Growing NAVIS Projects Overview Gabriella Povero Istituto Superiore Mario Boella

2 The beginning The activities in South East Asia of Istituto Superiore Mario Boella and Politecnico di Torino in the field of Satellite Navigation started thanks to the call FP7-GALILEO : International Activities. The call was part of the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) of the European Commission and managed by the European GNSS Agency GSA.

3 Why South East Asia? South East Asia is one of the most dynamic area of the world, with a growing economy and constant need of new infrastructures. Politecnico di Torino and Istituto Superiore Mario Boella have a long term relationship with some countries in the Region. In particular with Vietnam and Thailand. South East Asia is very interesting for the Satellite Navigation field since it is in a strategic position to receive many signals from many systems. The Region will experience the Multi-GNSS environment before any other on the planet.

4 Why South East Asia?

5 SEAGAL South-East Asia Centre on European GNSS for International Cooperation And Local development FP7-GALILEO : International Activities Partners: Istituto Superiore Mario Boella (ISMB) Italy (coordinator) Politecnico di Torino Italy Universidad Politecnica de Catalunya Spain Université de Franche-Comté France Hanoi University of Technology Vietnam Asian Institute of Technology Thailand Duration: 19 months (15 th March th October 2010)

6 SEAGAL Project Objectives / 1 Provision of an high level analysis of political, industrial, technical, and economical elements in the GNSS field in South-East Asia, with particular focus on Vietnam and Thailand Definition of an implementation plan for the set-up of a Collaboration Centre on GNSS in Hanoi Set up of the European GNSS Collaboration Centre in Hanoi University of Technology Campus, open to collaboration with all South East Asian institutions

7 SEAGAL Project Objectives / 2 To support technical, educational, and commercial needs in South-East Asia in the field of GNSS, acting as linking entity between Europe and South-East Asia To promote research, training, education, and technology transfer, facilitating joint initiatives between European and South-East Asian institutions in the GNSS field

8 SEAGAL outcome: NAVIS The GNSS collaboration Centre, NAVIS, was set up within the Hanoi University of Science and Technology (Vietnam) and opened the 1 st October Institutions supporting the Centre: Istituto Superiore Mario Boella Italy Politecnico di Torino Italy Universidad Politecnica de Catalunya Spain Hanoi University of Technology Vietnam

9 Long term mission of NAVIS To promote research, training, education, and technology transfer in GNSS in South East Asia To act as linking entity between Europe and South-East Asia in GNSS related activities To facilitate joint initiatives between European and South-East Asian institutions in the GNSS field

10 The NAVIS Centre Today the NAVIS is hosted at the sixth floor of the new Building Library of the Hanoi University of Science and Technology. The numbers of NAVIS: 1 Co-Director from Vietnam (HUST) and 1 from Europe (POLITO) 11 Researchers 4 Supporting institutions 1 International Scientific Committee 10

12 From SEAGAL to G-NAVIS 19 Months SEAGAL Growing NAVIS 31 Months 6 partners (Italy, France, Spain, Vietnam and Thailand) 10 Partners (new from Germany, Malaysia, Thailand and Australia) Approx 0,5 M Euros Approx 1 M Euros

13 Growing NAVIS G-NAVIS will contribute to the growth of the NAVIS Collaboration Centre supporting in particular those actions that: Enhance its technical and research capabilities so that it can be recognized as a valid research and innovation centre Extend its links in South East Asia with a particular focus on the ASEAN Member States Strengthen its cooperation with Europe, European institutions and possibly European companies

14 Growing NAVIS G-NAVIS activities are organised in three parallel lines: Research - to enhance the technical and research capability of the Centre. Education and Training - to enforce the availability in the Region of researchers and technicians with a good education in GNSS topics. Dissemination and Networking - to extend the cooperation of the consortium to key actors in the SEA region and to strengthen its cooperation with EU.

15 Growing NAVIS Three research topics : 1. Study of ionosphere characteristics to be applied to Precise Positioning algorithms 2. Analysis of algorithms for software Multi-GNSS receivers 3. Study of Intelligent Transportation Systems related applications

16 Growing NAVIS G-NAVIS will provide: 3 International Workshops: in Malaysia, Laos and Vietnam. The Workshops will provide dissemination and technical activities. 1 Summer School dedicated to ASEAN researchers and policy makers interested in GNSS technology. The School will take place in Vietnam in 2013.
