Artificial intelligence

Now in its 14th edition, Geospatial World Forum (GWF) has become a not-to-be-missed conference for the professionals engaged in geospatial and allied sectors. It is a collaborative and interactive platform that demonstrates the collective and shared vision of the global geospatial community.

Welcome to Hydroinformatics 2026 in Zaragoza!

We are delighted to invite you to the 16th International Conference on Hydroinformatics, taking place in Zaragoza, Spain, from June 22 to 26, 2026. As digital transformation is present in all fields, and of course, also in water management, this conference will bring together global experts to explore how AI, cloud computing, data-driven strategies, and smart water technologies can drive a more sustainable and resilient future.

Following the success of the first two editions in 2019 and 2022, the Copernicus Relays of Luxembourg and Belgium (i.e. LIST, Skywin, ISSeP, Spacebel and VITO) organise the 3rd edition of the AI4Copernicus event, focussing this time on:

                             “Earth Observation & Artificial Intelligence solutions for climate change challenges”

which will take place on 25 May 2023 in Mondorf-les-Bains, Luxembourg or online.

The 16th Pan Ocean Remote Sensing Conference (2025) is set to convene ocean geospatial experts from Taiwan and across the globe to explore various facets of ocean and atmosphere research utilizing geospatial technology. 

The conference takes places in Keelung, Taiwan on 22-26 April, 2025.

Please submit complete academic papers or abstracts to the conference that touch on any of the following themes—which are not exhaustive—that will be covered at the meeting:

The ISPRS will host the first Geospatial Week in Africa and Middle East in Egypt, 2023; with the the "Remote Sensing for Better Future". The ISPRS Geospatial Week (GSW) is a combination of workshops organised by about 30 ISPRS Working Groups active in areas of interest of ISPRS.The GSW will provide a platform for international scholars, graduate students, future scientists and industrial sectors to learn exchange knowledge and experiences of applying geospatial technologies for sustainable development for better quality of life for people around the world.

Hydroinformatics is defined as the study of the flow of information and the generation of knowledge related to the dynamics of water in the real world, through the integration of modelling, information technologies and artificial intelligence considering sustainability and social implications for decision support and smart management of water-based systems.

The 7th biennial European Climate Change Adaptation Conference (ECCA2025) will be held from June 16-18, 2025, in Rimini, Italy. ECCA2025 is organised by MAGICA Project.

The 1st IAHR and 4th CAE International Conference on Global Water Security and Sustainable Development will be held by the Yangtze Institute for Conservation and Development, Hohai University and Nanjing Hydraulic Research Institute in Nanjing (China) from October 30th to November 3rd, 2023. 

Trust-A-Thon

This year’s TAI4ES Summer School will feature a week-long machine learning trust-a-thon. The goal is to evaluate the trustworthiness of pre-trained machine learning algorithms developed to solve real-world environmental science challenges. Participants will develop experience applying a mix of verification, visualization, XAI, and robustness checks to these algorithms to understand how they work and identify biases and failure modes. Both beginner and advanced tracks will be available.

The UNICEF Sustainable WASH Innovation Hub event takes place on 18-19 March 2025 and can be attended in person in Copenhagen, Denmark or online.

Join a global community of thought leaders and innovators to collaborate on pathways to accelerate and scale innovative Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) solutions with the power to transform the lives of children and reach millions of underserved populations across the world.

The European Space Agency, in the context of the "Earth Observations Science for Society" Programme, the Global Energy and Water EXchanges project (GEWEX) of the World Climate Research Programme and Centre National d'Études Spatiales (CNES) are organising a sequel joint event to Hydrospace2021 and EO4Water2020, called 5th Space for Water Cycle and Hydrology Workshop, HYDROSPACE 2023. 

CoastLab is a conference whose focus is on Physical Modelling in Coastal Engineering and Science.

CoastLab24 is organized under the auspices of International Association of Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR)

In the coastal zone, many developments are taking place, with much attention to themes like:

User Segments 

The International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS) is the world’s premier symposium on geoscience, remote sensing and related topics. The 43rd annual IGARSS is going be to held in person with the theme of “Reconnecting” with our peers and community. This is an ideal forum for obtaining up-to-date information about the latest developments, exchanging ideas, identifying future trends and making networking with the international geoscience and remote sensing community.

The Blue Earth Summit takes place in London, United Kingdom on 15-17 October 2025.

Blue Earth Summit is a transformative 3-day impact event bringing together 7,000 passionate innovators, startups, investors, corporations, politicians, adventurers, academics, media, and campaigners. Our mission is to find and fund solutions that regenerate our natural world.

Remote Sensing of the Water: Sensors to Science to Society

In the past decade, there have been unprecedented changes in the fields of sensor technology, satellite missions, modeling and applications to benefit society. Small satellite systems are shifting observational paradigms to more rapid revisits, higher resolutions and ever-increasing volumes of data. The commercial sector has launched hundreds of satellites and companies are now in the business of understanding the water cycle.

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 theme of this year’s annual EUMETSAT conference is “The Evolutionary challenge for EO satellites from technology to exploitation”.

Overview:

The Executive Steering and Programme Committees are pleased to invite community members from all levels of the value chain, from data providers to users, of operational satellite oceanographic data, products and applications, to attend the 2nd international Operational Satellite Oceanography (OSO) Symposium to be held in a virtual format on 25-27 May 2021. 

The meeting is co-organised by EUMETSAT & NOAA NESDIS STAR.
