- Funding opportunities
- Prizes
- Mapping & Surveying
- Other professional applications
Every year, the Council of European Geodetic Surveyors (CLGE) organises a student contest aimed at rewarding young people for their work in various surveying-related areas, such as:
- Geodesy, Topography,
- GIS, Mapping and Cadastre,
- Students and youngsters engagement, and
- Galileo, EGNOS and/or Copernicus.
The latter category seeks to encourage research in the field of practical applications of the European efforts in Galileo, EGNOS, Copernicus. The work can focus on one of these topics or a combination of two or even three topics. For the time being, the participation of the academic contributors is restricted to bachelor and master students (except for the third category, students and youngsters engagement).
