The International GNSS Service (IGS) met in Bern, Switzerland, from July 1 to 5. Organized by the University of Bern, the more than 250 participants focused on a scientific symposium and a service-oriented workshop, as well as the celebrations for 30 years of the IGS. Since 1994, the IGS has been providing high-precision GNSS data and products for science and society and is the world's leading organization for the high-precision use of global satellite navigation.

Since the beginning, our section 1.1 has contributed to the success of the IGS with its GNSS station network, its GNSS analysis center and active participation in several working groups. In Bern, current GFZ work in the areas of station network and data processing, quality monitoring, determination of GNSS phase centers and atmospheric water vapor with weather and climate change related applications was presented. Particular attention was paid to the presentation of our work on the combination of satellite orbit and clock corrections and the SPOCC software developed for this purpose in Section 1.1. The Analysis Center Coordinator (ACC) is responsible for combining these products within the IGS. During the symposium in Bern, this task was handed over to a consortium led by CDDIS/NASA, which will be supported by the GFZ for the next few years.
