Working Group MembershipWorking Group Membership

The GNSS Working Group membership is formed by members coming from regional and local authorities, industries, SMEs, universities and research organisations.

The participating regions have a different level of involvement in the implementation of space programs. There are regions with a clear “space vocation”, regions interested mainly as space services end-users. These allow the comparison of a wide range of experiences and a really integrated approach and it is a key element for structuring and developing a real market of GNSS services.
