Description

The questions "where am I, where should I go and how do I get there?" are nowadays often answered by advanced technology. The enormous flight of technology has now caused landslides in this field, causing the paper map to lose its leading position. New systems and gadgets appear almost every month, both for the consumer market and for military professionals.

On 13 February 2009, KIVI NIRIA's Defence and Security Department, in cooperation with the Netherlands Institute for Navigation (NIN), is organising a workshop on the theme "Geographical Information; where is it going?".

Speakers from academia, defence, industry, government and TNO will take you into the world of positioning and navigation. They will show you where we are and where we are going. The focus is defence and security, so risks will also be highlighted.
