The fourth issue of the International Conference on Localization and GNSS was organized in Helsinki, Finland on June 24-26, 2014 jointly by Tampere University of Technology (TUT) and the Finnish Geodetic Institute (FGI). The event brought together 45 positioning professionals for nearly three days. The keynote speakers were Dr. Lauri Wirola from HERE, Finland, Dr. Marco Lisi from ESA, The Netherlands, Dr. Valerie Renaudin from IFSTTAR, France, and Dr. Vidal Ashkenazi, Nottingham Scientific, UK. There were two awards given in the event: the best paper award for Enik Shytermeja, ENAC, France who was one of the speakers in the MULTI-POS (Multi-technology Positioning Professionals Marie Curie ITN) special session; and the best presentation award went to Nyein Aye Maung Maung, Ritsumeikan University, Japan. Not only the talks but also the social events were of high quality. On the first evening, there was a visit and reception at FGI, with the house band playing; the banquet took place on the second evening, in restaurant Walhalla on the old fortress island Suomenlinna (to which there was the compulsory boat trip as well); and the conference was concluded to a sightseeing tour of Helsinki City and dinner in the brewery restaurant Bryggeri.
