ATHENA Programme Update

ATHENA stands for ‘Advanced Technology for Higher-Education and Non-profit Associations' and has the objective of introducing the latest GNSS Reference Station and Monitoring technology to the academic and research communities. Any non-profit organisation providing education and scientific research involving GNSS and Structural Monitoring can benefit thanks to the Programme. The ATHENA Programme 2010 updates consists of a new set of Leica Geosystems GNSS Reference Station and Structural Monitoring product bundles including the new generation of receivers, antennas, accessories and firmware options with special discounts for qualified institutions.

The revised ATHENA now includes bundles with basic accessories such as power supplies, antenna and data cables and memory cards to make it easier to get started. Bundles without accessories continue to be offered for customers that require a tailored solution.

The = ATHENA programme gives education and research institutes access to the latest GNSS reference station and structural monitoring technology so that future graduates and researchers will be equipped with up-to-date knowledge of these important technologies and application areas. Leica Geosystems hopes that access to this technology will help inspire students and researchers to greater achievements.
