Dear Colleagues,

The next General Assembly of the European Geosciences Union will
be held in Vienna, Austria, 27 April to 02 May 2014. We draw your
attention in particular to session "G2.2 The ITRF: Preparation
for the next Release and its Applications".

This session is coordinated with the final steps leading to the
release of ITRF2013. It is intended to be a forum to discuss all
stages in the definition and realization of the International
Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF), as well as its use and role
in Earth sciences. The goal is to consider facets not only of the
contributing technique services and data analysis, but also of all
ITRF users, ranging from local and regional to global applications.
The session seeks contributions covering the complete range of
topics, including data analysis and geophysical modeling, parameter
estimation, correction models, frame specification, and combination
methodology, with a particular focus on identifying and mitigating
systematic errors. Approaches to independently evaluate different
ITRF solutions, possibly using external data sets, are also
welcome.
