The 2016 General Assembly of the DRM Consortium is scheduled to take place
on Tuesday 5th and Wednesday 6th of April and is being hosted by Fraunhofer IIS
at their headquarters in Erlangen, near Nuremberg (Germany). The theme for this
year's event is "Digital Radio Mondiale – Smart Radio for Everyone".
During three days the DRM
members and invited guests to both the General Assembly and the European
Workshop (scheduled for April 7th) will have a chance to get together, review
and exchange exclusive information on DRM in one of the most innovative research
institutes in the world. During the General Assembly the members and guests
will review the DRM outstanding activities and achievements of the past
year.
"This is also the time to
address all the remaining challenges and participate in shaping the strategy of
the next year", says Ruxandra Obreja, DRM Chairman. This past year witnessed
some visible progress and impact on receiver developments with the launch of the
first made in India receiver and the first DRM receiver in an Indian car.
Receivers remain at the top of our priorities and part for the big push to see
digital radio take hold in key markets across the world."
The General Assembly will take
place on April 5th for half day and on April 6th full day. On the 6th afternoon,
the GA will overlap with the start of the first DRM European Workshop. The
European workshop is being organised for the first time by the DRM German
Platform. Its Chairman, Joachim Lehnert, explains what drove the members to take
this initiative: "The event will focus on the radio receiver and car industry
and the need for the provision of multi-standard radios in Europe which can and
should include DRM reception in the AM and in the VHF bands."
