The Laboratory of Geodesy of the School of Rural, Surveying and Geoinformatics Engineering at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) conducts education, research and applied work in higher and physical geodesy, gravimetry, satellite geodesy, geodetic astronomy, topography, technical and industrial geodesy, geodetic metrology, hydrographic surveying, large-scale surveying and navigation. The Laboratory was formed through the merger of the former Higher Geodesy and General Geodesy laboratories and supports research programmes, scientific collaborations, data collection and processing, and specialised technical studies. Within the space ecosystem, its expertise is particularly relevant to satellite geodesy, precise positioning and navigation, reference systems, Earth monitoring and the exploitation of space-based measurements for geophysical and surveying applications.
