Adding GRACE to GNSS
The GNSS Research and Application Centre of Excellence (GRACE), is a cross disciplinary centre providing cutting edge research, high calibre teaching and business support services to the GNSS community. It will be the only facility in UK dedicated to the development of downstream applications and services using GNSS. The European Union has estimated the market for downstream applications and services to be worth in excess of £230 billion by 2025. Supporting the University of Nottingham in this venture, which will have an investment of £9.2m is the East Midlands Development Agency [more]
