Convened biennially since 1962, the International Symposium on Remote Sensing of Environment is a global summit for experts to share emerging knowledge in the fields of Earth observation and remote sensing.

ISRSE-40 will run alongside the inaugural Farnborough International Space Show.

The Centre for Spatial Data Infrastructures and Land Administration (CSDILA) at the University of Melbourne, will host the Global Geospatial and Land Community at Melbourne Connect.

The program will include a Certified Leadership Training Course, which will equip executives and leaders with the knowledge, skills and insights needed to leverage geospatial technologies effectively, drive innovation within their organisations, and respond proactively to the evolving landscape of geospatial challenges and opportunities.

The associated Global Forum on Advancing Land and Geospatial Knowledge and Innovation will see the CSDILA and UN-GGIM bring together a leading team to deliver specialised leadership training in the domains of geospatial data and land administration.

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.
