Abstract: The PoRaC IP programme will challenge bachelor level students from Austria, Finland, Greece, Spain and Belgium to be creative with the various opportunities offered by Positioning Systems. Teaching staff from the participating countries will combine their expertise and skills in the different domains of Positioning Systems to offer an internationally accepted knowledge level. This background will allow the students to explore existing applications, work on improvements and search for new applications. The applications of Positioning Systems range from tracing lost children in an amusement park, over supply chain logistics to improvement of the quality of life of the ageing European society. The wide coverage of this appealing wireless technology will encourage people and companies to improve their productivity and to be more competitive in this global world. The participating students and teachers will contribute to the dissemination as well as the right use of the course results and this emerging technology in their home institutions and countries.
