Held every three years, the European Space Agency (ESA) Living Planet Symposium brings together diverse communities with a common interest in using Earth observation data, in a forum to meet and network with space professionals from a wide range of sectors.
Living Planet Symposium 2025 will have an emphasis on transitioning from ‘Observation to climate action and sustainability for Earth’.
The event will provide a forum to discuss the latest findings and applications based on satellite data, and to review the contribution that data and technologies have made and could further make in addressing environmental and societal challenges.
The symposium will also provide a chance for showcasing innovative products, services, missions and initiatives, with the overarching goal of demonstrating how science, society, policy-making, businesses and the economy can all benefit from observations made from space.
The International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS) is the flagship conference of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society. The 45th IGARSS will be held in Brisbane from 3 to 8 August 2025.
The theme of IGARSS 2025 is ‘One Earth,’ and the symposium will address threats to our Earth and promote collaborative global solutions that use remote sensing technology. The event will have strong technical and social programs, and present opportunities for regional and global collaboration.
Topics to be covered include:
- The contribution of international standards for land cover and land use and guidelines for SDG reporting
- Advanced satellite remote sensing techniques for coastal hazard monitoring and risk prediction
- Advanced signal processing methods for geoscience and remote sensing applications
- Applications of remote sensing in urban climate and sustainability
- Calibration and validation of space-based imaging spectrometers during a growth era of hyperspectral data sources
- Close-range sensing of the environment
- Deep learning and remote sensing for rapid disaster response
- Earth observation foundation models
- Hyperspectral geoscience mapping in developing countries
- New satellite laser data for terrain modelling
- Quantum technology for remote sensing
- Space LiDAR: Missions, technologies, and observations
INGEO 2025, the 9th International Conference on Engineering Surveying, continues the series of meetings that began in 1998.
The aim of the conference is to bring together professionals in the field of engineering surveying and other related professions, such as civil engineering, mechanical engineering, geoinformatics, geotechnics and so on, to discuss new technologies and development.
The main topics of discussion will be:
- 3D modelling of buildings and engineering structures, BIM
- Smart cities, data collection, sensors, ISs and IOT applications
- Cultural heritage documentation, data collection, 3D modelling
- Indoor navigation (SLAM, RFID, TOF, etc.), low-cost systems and applications
- Deformation measurement, automated measuring systems
- Industry surveys, application of modern technology for power plants, nuclear facilities, etc.,
- Standards and quality assurance of engineering surveys
