ITSNT 2017, symposium on Navigation and Timing : 14-17 Nov 2017 at ENAC (Toulouse, France).

The International Technical Symposium on Navigation and Timing also known as the ITSNT, is an annual event organized by CNES and ENAC for professionals and researchers working with or interested in navigation and timing technologies and their use. This event focuses specifically on technical topics that are addressed by experts from all around the world that share their ideas, expertise and views. The audience can easily engage in discussion with these experts during the question sessions and  round tables. The ITSNT also provides a great environment for networking and visiting our sponsors’ exhibition stands.

Key elements:

• International event
• A high quality and recognized scientific committee
• Technical presentations on hot topics related to navigation and timing
• Internationally recognized guest speakers
• Selective call for abstract
• Round tables
• Exhibition area
• Networking
• Tutorials
