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.

Experience the next wave of AEC innovation at the 12d Tech Forum at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre.
This is where industry leaders, software experts, and forward-thinking civil and water engineers, surveyors and information managers come together to explore the tools and technologies transforming civil and water design, surveying, and infrastructure delivery. From cutting-edge 12d Model and 12d Synergy advancements to powerful workflows in digital engineering and BIM, the 12d Tech Forum is packed with insights you can apply immediately.
Expect high-impact keynotes, live demos and real-world case studies — all designed to sharpen your skills and push project performance further. More than an event, it’s a hub for connection, collaboration and the ideas shaping tomorrow’s built environment.
The 2026 Advancing Earth Observation Forum aims to bring together professionals from across Australia and beyond, to share, learn, connect and collaborate.
The four-day event promises to attract a diverse range of participants from the Earth observation community, including those in industry, government, research, defence, not-for-profits and educational institutions.
The 2026 Forum will build on the momentum generated at the 2024 event in Adelaide and the inaugural AEO Forum held in Brisbane in 2022.
