General Announcements

13th International School on "The Determination and Use of the Geoid"

Dear Colleagues,

We are glad to inform you that the International Service for the Geoid (ISG) is organizing a new edition of the traditional International School on “The Determination and Use of the Geoid”. It will be organized in cooperation with the Department of Geodesy and Geodynamics Research and Development in Ethiopian Space Science and Technology Institute (ESSTI) of Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), which fostered this initiative. Due to the pandemic, for the first time, the School will be held online, from 13 October to 26 October 2021 (14.00 to 18.00 CEST), with a large group of attendees in Addis Ababa at ESSTI premises.

For more information please see the following website: https://www.isgeoid.polimi.it/Schools/next_school.html 

Please share this announcement with potentially interested students, because the registration is still open.

A maximum number of 30 attendees can be accepted.

Kind regards,

Daniela Carrion and Mirko Reguzzoni
ISG Director and President
