Visiting Leibniz Universität Hannover


(texto em português abaixo)

Our department has a Memorandum of Understanding with Leibniz Universität Hannover, Germany, for exchange of students, a fact that offers our undergraduate students with another opportunity for international experience, taking courses in English.

Hannover U is the home of one of our department's "founding fathers", Dr. Gottfried Konecny (seen in the picture, along with Dr. Monika Sester, director of the Institute of Cartography and Geoinformatics).

I visited the university yesterday, meeting colleagues and delivering a presentation "Geodesy for climate and terrestrial navigation at UNB."

No final, eu gostei da refeição juntamente com a cerveja búlgara Zagorka.

We spent two weeks at the Geodetic Observatory (GO) Pecný, located in a hill 1.5 km near the village of Ondřejov. Ondřejov itself is about 1 hour by public transportation from Prague.

Later on, they started to perform satellite photography, also evening operations. Therefore, an infrastructure was necessary for the scientists and technicians to stay overnight. The main office building, built at that time, had offices each one with a bed, and every floor had a kitchen, bathroom and shower. Today, a similar way of working exists. The scientists, engineers and technicians may spend two or three days living in the office, doing the rest of the work in other places such as Prague, Plze ň ,  or even at t...
