145 6 PROJECT UNIGRACE (UNIFICATION OF GRAGITY SYSTEMS IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE) A new project on Unification of the Gravity Systems in Central and Eastern Europe was lately launched by the CE1 Section C. The Project will provide benefits for (1) geodesy for the definition of a unique height system and for the determination of the geoid in Europe as well as for sea level variation studies, (2) metrology to transfer to Central and Eastern Europe the gravity standard for precise determination of weight and related instrumentation and to improve the testing methods and the level of agreement between laboratories, (3) geophysics for the definition of a unique European reference for geophysical investigations. The project consists in establishing the absolute gravity traverses from the Baltic Sea to Adriatic and the Black Sea. Ten absolute gravity intraplate and seven tide gauge stations will be measured in 12 countries: Austria (Graz), Bulgaria (Sofia, Burgas), Croatia (Zagreb, Dubrovnik), Czech Republic (Pecny), Finland (Metsahovi), Germany (Wettzell, Rostock), Hungary (Penc), Italy (Trieste), Poland (Jozefoslaw, Wladyslawowo), Romania (Gilau, Constanta), Slovakia (Modra Pesky), Slovenia (Bogensperk). As intraplate stations mainly permanent GPS stations were chosen, as tide gauge points the stations with long series of sea level observations. Twelve countries participate in the Project, two non-CEI countries (Finland and Germany). The gravity observations will be made by five absolute meters from Austria, Finland, Germany, Italy/France and Poland. The meters will be compared at the stations in Sevres, Wettzell and in Jozefoslaw. First observation campaign was organised in 1998, the second one is planned for 2000. The realisation of the Project was also accepted by European Union (programme INCO COPERNICUS).The First UNIGRACE Working Conference was held in Frankfurt a. Main (Germany) on 2-3 February 1998. All organisational and logistic problems were discussed and the time schedule of actions was accepted. The Second UNIGRACE Working Conference was organised in February 1999 in Warsaw (IG&GA WUT). Another gravimetric workshop was organised by Bundesamt fur Kartographie und Geodasie, Frankfurt/Main in Fulda on 11-12 October 1999 with the aim to discuss the results achieved by all absolute gravimeters during the 1998 campaign. The results of observations of all gravimeters made at the stations of Sevres/Paris, Jozefoslaw/Poland and Wettzell/Germany were compared. The Third UNIGRACE Working Conference will be organised by Bulgaria in Sofia in April 2000. The last working conference concluding the realisation of the Project will be held in fall 2000 in Trieste/Italy. 7. PROJECT UNIHIP (UNIFIED NATIONAL HIGH PRECISION GPS NETWORKS IN CENTRAL EUROPE) This is a new project proposal initiated lately by Hungary; it consists in an international cooperation among the operators of the precise GPS geodynamic national networks of Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. The national geodynamic networks in these countries, such as AGREF in Austria, GEODYN in the Czech Republic, HGRN in Hungary, SAGET and EXTENDED SAGET in Poland and SLOVGERENET in Slovakia were developed in the early 90- ties. The international coordination indicated in the project will involve synchronised GPS observations, unified databases structure, standardisation of formats and processing techniques, quality assessment and quality assurance. The product of the project will be a virtual large scale research infrastructure in Central Europe which will attract scientists and students from many disciplines, such as geophysics, geodesy, earthquake research, large scale industrial development projects etc. The initiative is coordinated by I. Fejes, Hungary. 8. WORKING GROUP ON UNIVERSITY EDUCATION STANDARDS The Section C Working Group on University Education Standards is chaired by Profs. Kazimierz Czarnecki/Poland and Florian Vodopivec/Slovenia. This group organised successfully three international GPS meetings: in 1996 an "International Symposium on Education in GPS Application to Geodesy and GIS" and in 1997 a symposium "International Symposium on DGPS in Engineering and Cadastral Measurements Education and Practice", both organised by F. Vodopivec in Ljubljana/Slovenia. Next action of this group, a Summer Seminar "Education in GPS Application to Geodesy and GIS/LIS", was organised in June 1998 Grybow, Poland (organiser: K. Czarnecki). Participants from Austria, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia attended the Seminar. It was recommended that in the next years the training on GPS techniques and applications for the international student groups would be organised in Grybow, Poland. The participants from all 16 CEI countries are invited to attend the training meetings. First international seminar will be organised in 2000. 9. CEI SECTION C WORKING GROUP ON SATELLITE NAVIGATION SYSTEMS In view of a great development of navigation systems (various geodetic real time and postprocessing positioning techniques, DGPS, DGLONASS etc.) in many CEI countries the Section C has decided to establish a new Section Working Group on Satellite Navigation Systems. The Chairman of this Working Group was elected Prof. Dr. Stanislaw Oszczak (Poland), the Co-Chairman - Prof. Dr. Giorgio Manzoni (Italy). First working meeting of this international group was held in Nice (France) in April 1998 on the occasion of the EGS General Assembly and the EGS Symposium "Geodetic and Geodynamic Achievements of the CEI (Central European Initiative)". Next meeting organised by this Working Group was held in Trieste, Italy on 9 March 1999, jointly with the Workshop on „DGPS and GLONASS techniques and application on safety (transport safety, rescue services, landslide monitoring etc.) in CEI area” (organiser: G. Manzoni). The Workshop was attended also by the representatives of the European Commission Brussels Office and Directorate of the GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems). Further activities of this Working Group, and in particular actions initiated by Prof. G. Manzoni are also worth mentioning, e.g. a new project proposal “No border DGPS in view of Galileo” presented at the CEI Economy Forum held in Prague in November 1999; also this session devoted to DGPS and GLONASS procedures in the CEI area is organised by Prof. Manzoni. 10.
