EUREF Permanent Network (EPS) is a European network of more than 300 continuously operating GNSS reference stations with precisely known coordinates referenced to the ETRS89. EPS is the key instrument in the maintenance of ETRS89 geodetic datum. The EPN stations collect continuously the observation data from high accuracy multi-GNSS receivers. The data is processed in the centralized way in a few data processing centres. EPS is created and maintained by a voluntary agreement of about 100 European agencies and universities. EPS activities are coordinated by EUREF.[1][2][3]
