On March 28-29, 2018, the URSI-France 2018 Workshop, under the sponsorship of the French Academy of Sciences, will be dedicated to “Geolocation and navigation”. The workshop will be held at the Meudon Site of the “Observatoire de Paris”.

Geolocation has massively entered our society. It is used in many applications. It covers a wide range of fields, including GNSS satellite tracking systems, radars, interferometry, communication systems, autonomous vehicles, connected objects and smart cities. Geolocation may require extremely accurate clocks, which raise scientific and technological challenges.

The workshop will be organized around oral and poster sessions. Most sessions will be introduced by invited lecturers presenting the state of the art and/or recent developments, followed by regular communications, which will be selected by the Scientific Committee. The working languages will be French and English.
