The primary goal of this symposium, is to bring together * the many individuals and government representatives responsible for funding, installing, and maintaining the global International Terrestrial Reference Frame infrastructure; * scientists from all disciplines and branches studying and using geodetic reference frames, and * representatives from industry who use geo-referencing to address the most important questions and issues that the community must consider regarding theoretical and practical implementation of improved reference frames for science, surveying, and commerce. Contributions are solicited that will address the underlying limiting factors, systematic errors and novel approaches for future improvements to the ITRF. Additionally, papers addressing reference frame requirements, geoscience and commercial usage, and applications will be of great importance to the G1 symposium. **************************************** Dr. Tonie M. van Dam Professor Faculté des Sciences, de la Technologie et de la Communication University of Luxembourg 6, rue Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi L-1359 Luxembourg Phone: (+352) 46 66 44 6261 Fax: (+352) 46 66 44 6261 e-mail: tonie.vandam@uni.lu Author: T. van Dam Dear Colleagues - As part of the 26th IUGG General Assembly that will be held in Prague, Czech Republic during June 22 to July 2, 2015 there will be an IAG Symposium on Reference Frames.
