The Technical Seminar on Reference Frames in Practice will be held in Warsaw on 10-11 September 2022. The main focus is on reference frames in general with a specific focus on UN initiatives, global and regional frames as well selected national case studies. A half-day International GNSS Service (IGS) Training will also be completed. Attendees can familiarize themselves with the training by reviewing videos at https://igs.org/tour-de-ligs-presentations.
