r3d100011724 EUREF Permanent Network EPN http://www.epncb.oma.be/ The EPN (or EUREF Permanent Network) is a voluntary organization of several European agencies and universities that pool resources and permanent GNSS station data to generate precise GNSS products. The EPN has been created under the umbrella of the International Association Geodesy and more precisely by its sub-commission EUREF. The European Terrestrial Reference System 89 (ETRS89) is used as the standard precise GPS coordinate system throughout Europe. Supported by EuroGeographics and endorsed by the EU, this reference system forms the backbone for all geographic and geodynamic projects on the European territory both on a national as on an international level. epncb@oma.be disciplinary eng 3 Natural Sciences 313 Atmospheric Science and Oceanography 315 Geophysics and Geodesy 317 Geography 34 Geosciences (including Geography) http://www.epncb.oma.be/_organisation/about.php Archived data Plain text Raw data Scientific and statistical data formats Standard office documents Structured graphics other dataProvider serviceProvider ETRS89 EVRS European Terrestrial Reference System European Vertical Reference System GLONASS GNSS GPS Galileo Global Navigation Satellite System satellite EUREF EEC funding general non-profit http://www.euref.eu/ http://www.euref.eu/euref_contacts.html International Association of Geodesy IAG AAA funding non-profit http://www.iag-aig.org/ Royal Observatory of Belqium, Global Navigation Satellite Systems Research Group ROB, GNSS Research Group BEL funding general technical non-profit http://gnss.be/ Data policy https://www.astro.oma.be/common/internet/en/data-policy-en.pdf open open restricted registration other http://www.epncb.oma.be/_documentation/faq.php#q2_2 restricted registration Procedure for becoming an EPN Station http://www.epncb.oma.be/_documentation/guidelines/procedure_becoming_station.pdf http://www.epncb.oma.be/_newseventslinks/anonymous_ftp.php none http://www.epncb.oma.be/_documentation/faq.php#q2_2 unknown yes The EUREF Permanent Network (EPN) is a voluntary federation of over 100 self-funding agencies, universities, and research institutions in more than 30 European countries. They work together to maintain the European Terrestrial Reference System (ETRS89) which is the single Europe-wide standard coordinate reference system adopted by the European Commission (ref COGI action decision 2003 - F/GIS/69/EN). In addition, the INSPIRE Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services established - among other requirements - that the ETRS89 shall be used for the referencing of spatial data sets in INSPIRE.
