In the framework of activities of the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS) Combination Research
Centres (CRC), the french {\it Groupe de Recherche en G\'eod\'esie Spatiale (GRGS)} studies the benefit of combining several
geodetic techniques (SLR, LLR, VLBI, GPS and DORIS) at the measurements level in order to obtain a global and consistent
solution for Earth Orientation Parameters (EOPs): polar motion $xp$ and $yp$, universal time $UT1$ and celestial pole offsets
in longitude and obliquity $d\psi$ and $d\epsilon$ with a six-hour sampling, as well as weekly station positions. A one-year
test period (the year 2002) has been chosen to prove the power of such a combination moreover worked out in a homogeneous
global terrestrial reference frame. All techniques were processed with the same computational framework so with the same
\textit{a priori} models and \textit{a priori} values for parameters. The optimal relative weights between each geodetic
technique were obtained with the Helmert's optimal variance component estimation. The aim of this paper is to describe the
processing and the precision/resolution level of each individual technique for EOPs and stations positions, to show how we
handled with the combination of techniques, and to discuss results for EOPs by comparing them to the individual solutions per
technique or to other external solutions.
