| EUREF Partners
EUREF established
partnerships through a Memorandum of Understanding with the following
organizations:
EuroGeographics
is the umbrella organization of the European National Mapping
and Cartographic Agencies. The Memorandum of
Understanding between EUREF and EuroGeographics is a more intensive
continuation of the hitherto cooperation for common interests between
both organizations. It guarantees on one hand that the developments made
by EUREF are absorbed and implemented by the NMCA; and on the other
hand, brings to EUREF the NMCA concerns and problems on geodetic issues
that must be solved in a European and global perspective. The
cooperative activities will be developed in the following areas:
the European Spatial Data Infrastructure (INSPIRE), Global Monitoring for Environment &
Security (GMES), Galileo and its applications related to geo-information, and sharing of best practice within and between the participants’ members.

of Understanding
EUMETNET
is a network of European
national meteorological services, facilitating committing inter-European
collaboration within meteorology. The goals of the Memorandum of
Understanding between EUREF and EUMETNET are to increase synergies and
collaborations between the geodetic and meteorological communities and
to facilitate the data exchange between the two parties. On one hand, E-GVAP,
a program running under the aegis of EUMETNET, aims at establishing a
European observing system for delivering near real-time GNSS-based
tropospheric zenith path delay (ZPD) estimates for operational numerical
weather prediction (NWP). For that, meteorologists need continued access
to GNSS raw data and products. On the other hand, EUREF needs access to
meteorological observations over all Europe In order to improve its GNSS
data processing and to validate its GNSS-derived products from the EUREF
Permanent Network (EPN).

CEGRN
is a scientific Consortium of
Research Institutions committed to a coordinated programme of measurements,
technical developments and for international access to monitoring geodetic and
geodynamic processes for a long period of time in Central Europe. The objective of this Memorandum of Understanding is, in
general, to create the conditions to facilitate the data exchange and to
promote the increase in the co-operation between the two parties, and in
particular, to facilitate the densification of the European GNSS network for reference
frame definition and geokinematical applications, and to support the ECGN
(European Combined Geodetic Network) project. It is expected that a closer
co-operation between EUREF and CEGRN will increase the level of support to the
IAG Dense Velocity Field Project, and the availability of a combined solution
with respect to a denser network.
