Over the years, the EUMETSAT user conference has become a key annual event for the meteorological and scientific communities where participants from around the world can meet to share their experience and knowledge during plenary, poster and workshop sessions.
The main theme of the conference will be “40th Anniversary of EUMETSAT – Advancing Earth System Satellites for Europe and Beyond”.
The year 2026 marks the 40th anniversary of the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), established in 1986 to deliver operational satellite data for weather, climate, and environmental monitoring. Over the past four decades, EUMETSAT has grown into a key pillar of the global operational Earth observation system, operating an advanced fleet of polar-orbiting and geostationary satellites, having a prominent role to today’s global weather and air-quality forecasting and contributing actively to international partnerships.
