Abstract
The purpose of EUREF, the SubCommission for Europe of IAG’s (International Association of Geodesy) Commission X on Global and Regional Geodetic Networks, is the establishment and maintenance of the European Reference Frame.
This is being achieved by means of a number of space geodetic reference stations (SLR and VLBI), an array of GPS permanent sites the EUREF Permanent Network (EPN), a network of highprecision geodetic reference sites determined by GPS campaigns, and the combination of the Unified European Levelling Network (UELN) and the European Vertical GPS Reference Network (EUVN).
The ETRS89 (European Terrestrial Reference System 1989) is being adopted by several countries and organisations in Europe as the official system for geo-referencing. The European Community will use ETRS89 as conventional reference system as well.
This paper describes the status of the different EUREF components and projects (GPS campaigns, EPN, UELN, EUVN), as well as some organisational aspects (the rebuilding of the homepage www.euref-iag.org, absolutely necessary for a better distribution of the information), and the relationship with other organisations.
