The paper contains some new actions and evident achievements gained by the realisation of the programme of international cooperation within the CEI WGST Section C "Geodesy". In particular, the paper will outline the results and future plans of international cooperation in the following areas: • Project CERGOP (Central Europe Regional Geodynamics Project); • Programme EXTENDED SAGET (Satellite Geodynamical Traverses); • Project UNIGRACE (Unification of Gravity Systems in Central and Eastern Europe); • Project UNIHIP (Unified National High Precision GPS Networks in Central Europe); • Working Group on University Education Standards; • Working Group on Satellite Navigation Systems; • Cooperation between CEI Section C "Geodesy" and EGS ’(European Geophysical Society) Section "Geodesy"; • Cooperation links between CEI Section C "Geodesy" and IAG (International Association of Geodesy). Subcommission IAG "Geodetic and Geodynamic Programmes of the Central European Initiative (CEI)" 2. PROJECT CERGOP (CENTRAL EUROPE REGIONAL GEODYNAMICS PROJECT) The main objectives of the project are: to integrate the geodynamic research in the Central European region based on high accuracy space geodetic measurements, to investigate the most profound geotectonic features in the Central European region, the Teisseyre-Tornquist zone, the Carpathians, the Bohemian Massif, the Pannonian Basin and the Alpine-Adria region as well as to provide a stable Central European GPS Reference Network (CEGRN) for sub-regional, local or across the borders investigations and deformation studies. The first phase of the Project was concluded on 30 June 1998 and now the second phase of the Project is being realised. The following 11 countries joined the first phase of the Project in 1994: Austria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Romania, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine. As associated country Bulgaria joined the project in 1996. The Project is headed by Hungary (Istvan Fejes) and Poland (Janusz Slcdzinski). Since 1994 four epoch monitoring satellite GPS (Global Positioning System) campaigns of the first phase of the Project have been carried out on this network in yearly intervals (in 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997). In 1999 the first campaign of the second phase of the Project was organised and successfully performed. The CERGOP Data Center was established in 1994 and is hosted by the Observatory Lustbuhel, Graz, Austria. The satellite observational data of the CEGRN monitoring campaigns were processed in the CERGOP Processing Centres. Originally 3 processing groups were formed in Graz, Austria; Penc, Hungary and Warsaw, Poland. In a later stage of the project the number of processing centers increased to 8 by organising further centres in Bratislava, Slovakia; Frankfurt, Germany; Matera, Italy; Pecny, Czech Republic and Zagreb, Croatia. A major development of the project was the establishment of CERGOP Study Groups (CSGs). The groups were formed by the collaboration of scientists from two or more member countries to carry out research in a particular field. Nine CERGOP Study Groups remained active during the whole project period. The CERGOP Study Groups established for the second phase of the Project are given in the a table below. The project participants have met regularly at the semi-annual CERGOP Working Conferences. The proceedings of these conferences were published in REPORTS ON GEODESY by the Warsaw University of Technology, generally within 3 months following the conference, which can be considered as exemplary. The scientific results of the project were mainly presented at the bi-annual International Seminar on „GPS in Central Europe”, organised by the FÖMI Satellite Geodetic Observatory, Penc, in Hungary. The proceedings of these conferences were also published in the REPORTS ON GEODESY series. The first phase of the Project CERGOP was partially supported financially from the Programme COPERNICUS of the European Commission. As the Coordinator served Institut für Angewandte Geodäsie (now Bundesamt für Kartografie und Geodäsie), Frankfurt/Main/Germany. Lately the proposal for the second phase of the Project CERGOP-2 was submitted to the European Commission with the request for financial support from the 5th Framework EU Programme (Coordinator: Austrian Academy of Sciences). As the main achievements of the Project CERGOP-1 we can specify the following: • Establishment and maintenance of the Central European GPS Reference Network consisting of 31 sites on the territories of 11 countries. The sites satisfy the strict requirements for repeated GPS monitoring on the highest accuracy level (the accuracies of 2-4 mm in horizontal coordinates and 4-8 mm in vertical coordinates have been achieved). • Eleven CEGRN stations are permanent GPS stations providing continuous monitoring capabilities for tectonic studies. The remaining 20 sites are so called „epoch stations’ which give positional information at the measurement epochs. • The Central European Terrestrial Reference Frame (CETRF) has been established, which suits best for geophysical, geotectonic studies of the region. The yearly monitoring of CETRF provided already significant kinematic results about intraplate tectonic motions in Central Europe. Twenty two stations from CEI countries (eleven CEGRN stations) are used for permanent monitoring of the European Reference Frame (EUREF). • The scientific outputs of CERGOP Study Groups presented at different international conferences should also be mentioned. Perhaps the most notables among them are the five monographs of five particular regions in Central Europe produced by CSG.8 „Geotectonic analysis of the region of Central Europe”. The following volumes of geotectonic monographs were published in REPORTS ON GEODESY series: The Pannonian Basin (edited by G. Grenerczy), The Bohemian Massif (edited by P. Vyskocil), The Teisseyre-Tornquist Zone (edited by J. Liszkowski), The Northern Carpathians (edited by
