Find Your Way with the New Navigators

We live in an increasingly navigation-aware world. These days your phone can tell you where you’re going, your car knows where to stop for lunch and advanced navigation technology in aircraft is even being considered as a way of slowing climate change.

Where navigation technology will take us tomorrow depends on research being undertaken by students today.

Come and meet the future.

The New Navigators:
A one-day seminar, organised by the Royal Institute of Navigation and hosted by Imperial College London, Exhibition Road, London SW7 2AZ
(Nearest Tube: South Kensington – District, Circle, Piccadilly Lines).
20 June – 09.15-1700.

The RIN invites you to the second annual ‘New Navigators’ day at Imperial College London. Students from British universities in Bradford, Leeds, Nottingham, Surrey and London will be coming together at Imperial to present the results of their studies into special subjects in navigation to an audience of their tutors, their peers – and some of the leading companies in British navigation technology. The RIN launched the seminar with the aim of getting the best researchers and the best employers in the same room, to help young people take their first steps towards putting their expertise and research in the marketplace.

Come along on 20 June and hear:
• An overview of satellite navigation systems – with special relevance to the Galileo system – from students from Bradford

• Nottingham navigators achieving centimetre-level accuracy from satellite systems – even in modern ‘urban canyons

• Surrey students discussing GPS and microsatellites

• The impact of using satellites in railway applications, and more.

All media welcome, but please contact RIN Press Officer Tony Fyler.
