AG FIRST-TF 2024
The FIRST-TF research federation (Laboratory of Escellence) and the REFIMEVE French Research Infrastucure, are joining together this year for organizing 3 events important for the french Time and Frequency community: their respective General Assemblies, and a workshop on precision synchronization and networks.
These events will be the opportunity for a vast community to network, have scientific exchanges and get the latest informations about FIRST-TF and REFIMEVE.
All the events will take place at Institut Galilée, on the Université Sorbone Paris Nord campus in Villetaneuse.
The dates are the following:
- September 30, 2024, afternoon: lab visits at the Laboratoire de Physique des Lasers,
- October 1, 2024: General Assembly of FIRST-TF
- October 2, 2024: Workshop on “Precision Synchronization and networks”
- 0ctobre 3, 2024: General Assembly of REFIMEVE
Lunches for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd of October are included in the organization. Dinners for the 1st and 2nd of October evening will be organized as joint social events.
Registration is free, but mandatory, for members of structures affiliated to FIRST-TF, REFIMEVE, as well as for invited guests, on this link: https://firsttfrefimeve.sciencesconf.org/
Workshop on Standardization of Galileo Timing Receivers (Prague, February 2, 2024, 10:00-13:00 CET)
The availability of accurate and secure timing information is crucial for a range of strategic sectors. This is especially the case for critical infrastructures, like telecommunication networks, energy distribution grids, financial markets. All of these will benefit from the future Galileo Timing Service.
In a joint effort, EUSPA and the European Commission will host a workshop dedicated present the ongoing standardisation activities for timing receivers, aimed at the publication of the first ever Standard in 2024, a key component of the upcoming Galileo Timing Service. The workshop will provide a great opportunity for discussing with Stakeholders on the benefits for Timing and Synchronisation (T&S) applications, and on the user needs of the Timing community.
The workshop will be hybrid, taking place online and at EUSPA HQ.
WRC-23 approves the adoption and implementation of Continuous Universal Time Coordinated UTC
The ITU World Radiocommunication Conference 2023 (WRC-23), held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, from November 20 to December 15, 2023, approved the adoption and implementation of UTC Continuous Universal Time as the internationally recommended reference time scale. Successful negotiations focused on the importance of making UTC a continuous time scale, and on the revision of Resolution 655 (WRC-15) concerning the definition of a time scale and the broadcasting of time signals using radiocommunication systems. The main results include :
- Recognition of Resolution 2 of the 26th CGPM (2018) on the definition of UTC and Resolution 4 of the 27th CGPM (2022) on the use and future evolution of UTC. The latter aims to provide a continuous reference time scale for a century;
- Recognition of the results of studies carried out by Working Party 7A and published in Report ITU-R TF.2511, dealing with the various aspects of the current reference time scale and those that could be defined in the future, including their implications and applications;
- The continuation of the fruitful collaboration between the BIPM and the ITU-R, in preparation for the decision of the 28th meeting of the CGPM (2026) concerning the new maximum tolerance for UT1 – UTC and its date of application;
- The continuation the study of the content and structure of time signals to be broadcast using radiocommunication systems, including wireline technologies, using the combined technical expertise of the organizations concerned, in order to produce new and revised ITU-R reports and recommendations, including but not limited to a revised version of Recommendation ITU-R TF.460-6 on standard frequency and time signal emissions.

Prospective of the CNRS INP: Online feedback symposium – September 12 and 13, 2023.
L’Institut de Physique (INP) du CNRS a lancé en mai 2022 un travail sur sa prospective scientifique pour nourrir la réflexion sur l’évolution de la physique à l’horizon 2030.
Comme vous le savez, des groupes de travail questionnent, travaillent, rédigent, animent la réflexion sur 15 différents thèmes ayant été définis en décembre 2022.
Un colloque de restitution auprès de toute la communauté est prévu en ligne les 12-13 septembre 2023. Après une présentation brève du travail de prospective réalisé par les groupes de travail, la communauté pourra commenter et poser des questions sur l’ensemble des textes que les groupes de travail vont faire circuler auprès de leurs contributeurs.
Pour être tenus au courant en avance des textes de restitution, nous vous rappelons qu’il faut s’être inscrit sur le site de l’INP: https://survey.cnrs-dir.fr/index.php/131237?lang=fr
Pour assister au colloque de restitution, il vous faudra les 12 et 13 septembre cliquer sur le lien ci-dessous afin de rejoindre le webinaire :
https://cnrs.zoom.us/j/98526233592?pwd=NWJlZWVHWXhua2lpOWpQOThZLzdXZz09
Code secret : r05mWm
Cela vous permettra de suivre les présentations et de poser des questions (écrites) durant les deux jours de l’événement.
Le programme provisoire du colloque de restitution est fourni en pièce jointe: Programme_Colloque_INP-12&13Septembre2023
Après cette phase, l’Institut de physique utilisera les textes proposés et les remarques issues de ce colloque pour élaborer un document de prospective définitif qui sera disponible à la fin de l’année 2023.
Nous vous attendons nombreux en septembre, après une vraisemblable et surement bienvenue pause estivale !
