General  Information

     The International Public Association "Academy of Navigation and Motion Control" was founded in February 1995 as a public association of scientists and researchers in the field of navigation and motion control. The Academy includes full and honorary members. The number of Academy members is not limited, there are no quotas. The new members are admitted by the Academy Presidium and initiated at the General meeting. According to the Academy Regulations, the actively working scientists, usually having a PhD, can be appointed the full members of the Academy. The creative activities of a future member should be proved by scientific publications during the last 5 years and by a recommendation from the head of Academy department or from a Presidium member. The same requirements are imposed on foreign members of the Academy. Distinguished scientists of the elder generation, who have supreme authority with specialists, are honorary members of the Academy.
