Join experts from artificial intelligence (AI) and data science, thematic applications, engineers and research scientists active in the field of foundation models (FMs) applied to climate, weather, Earth observation (EO), and Earth sciences from across the globe in this workshop hosted by NASA and ESA (European Space Agency).
The Second ESA-NASA International Workshop on AI Foundation Model for Earth Observation will focus on further strengthening cross-agency and cross-disciplinary collaboration between the EO and AI/FM communities to advance the transition of foundation models from research prototypes to operational, trustworthy, and impactful Earth science tools.
The key goal of the workshop is to foster meaningful exchange across science, applications, and operations, while creating space for emerging topics such as agentic AI, novel applications, benchmarking frameworks, and responsible AI use.

The International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing’s (ISPRS) XXV Congress will be held in Toronto, Canada, from 4 to 11 July 2026. This will be the first ISPRS Congress to held in Canada since the event in Ottawa in 1972, so it will be an historic occasion.
The event will bring together researchers, practitioners and industry leaders from around the globe to explore the latest advancements, trends and applications in photogrammetry and remote sensing.
The theme of the Congress, From Imagery to Understanding, captures the role of ISPRS and its scientific activities, and will culminate in a legacy project to create materials that can be used by the ISPRS community to better promote to funding agencies and others the important role that it plays in the world’s economic and environmental activities.
The Congress will run in parallel with the 47th Canadian Symposium on Remote Sensing (CSRS).
The abstract submission deadline has been extended to 17 November 2025, and early bird registration is now available.
