Barcelona, Spain
We are delighted to announce the International Conference on Advanced Remote Sensing – Shaping Sustainable Global Landscapes (ICARS 2025), scheduled to take place in Barcelona, Spain, from March 26–28, 2025.
The conference will focus on how advanced remote sensing technologies are transforming our approach to global challenges. Over three days, we will explore innovations in Earth and environmental sciences, engineering advancements, and practical applications in biological and agricultural fields.
The Summit “Space Agenda for Tomorrow” will bring together international organizations, scientists, space agencies, and industry representatives from the Remote Sensing community with the aim to debate prominent points at the top of the agenda for the sector and identify key global challenges of tomorrow consistent with sustainability and the Sustainable Development Goals. With an eye on the present and walking the path to 2030, the Summit will cover critical issues such as climate change, landscape protection and infrastructure assessment, food security, biodiversity, sustainable ocean economy, pollution, and natural hazards.
We are also committed to showcasing the work of early-stage researchers, and the majority of the oral presentations will be selected from submitted abstracts. Crucially, the program will provide plenty of opportunities to casually network via poster sessions and refreshment breaks.
ICARS 2025 promises insightful discussions and innovative solutions for a sustainable world. Don't miss your chance to be part of this pivotal gathering—mark your calendar today!
We look forward to seeing you in Barcelona!
Sincerely,
Prof. Dr. Fabio Tosti, Prof. Dr. Andrea Benedetto & Prof. Dr. Luis Ángel Ruiz

Permafrost plays a crucial role in the Earth’s climate system, storing vast amounts of carbon and influencing ecosystems, infrastructure, and communities in Arctic and sub-Arctic regions. However, as the climate warms, permafrost has begun to thaw at an accelerated rate, creating significant environmental and socioeconomic challenges.
In this webinar, we will explore the critical role of Earth Observation (EO) technologies in monitoring and understanding permafrost changes. From satellite imagery to remote sensing techniques, EO provides valuable, real-time data that help researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders track permafrost dynamics, assess risks, and develop strategies for mitigation and adaptation. Join us to learn how cutting-edge EO innovations are advancing the science of permafrost monitoring and shaping the future of Arctic sustainability. To this end, key research findings will be presented from EO-PERSIST, an EU-funded project that aims to develop a cloud-based platform for mapping the socioeconomic impacts of climate change in the Arctic regions.

Upcoming Partner Conferences (3)
Aveiro, Portugal
The University of Aveiro welcomes you to Portugal for the 10th edition of the Coastal Dynamics Conference, to be held from 7th to 11th April 2025.
Coastal Dynamics started in 1994, being a sister conference of the Coastal Sediments Series, which started in 1977. The international Coastal Dynamics conference series is one of the most important meetings for scientists in the fields of nearshore dynamics and coastal evolution. The 1st edition was held in 1994 in Barcelona. Since then, conferences were held in Gdansk, Poland (1995); Plymouth, UK (1997); Lund, Sweden (2001); Barcelona (2005); Tokyo, Japan (2009); Arcachon, France (2013); Helsingor (2017); and Delft (2021).
The conference theme is “Living with a Dynamic Coast”, and we invite scientists and experts from all over the world conducting research on the dynamics and changes in the coastal systems to contribute their insights and research results. Approaches include field (remote and in situ) observations, laboratory experiments, theoretical formulations, and numerical simulations.
Nottingham, UK
The Wavelength meeting was launched for the first time in 2013 for PhD students and early career researchers. The conference addresses the demand for representation of new professionals as well as students from RSPSoc, the UK’s number one society for remote sensing and photogrammetry science, within both academia and industry. Every year, Wavelength gathers over 50 participants from student and early career levels, as well as senior members and individuals within academia and business. The conference typically offers a non-intimidating yet professional setting to present student and EC work and meet new like-minded contacts. We provide a friendly environment with a social programme in order to facilitate networking and interaction between representatives from both academia and commercial organisations.
Format: We have decided to run the 2025 conference in a majority in-person format; we feel this is the optimum format because it supports communication, gatherings, and collaborative thinking to facilitate effective networking. This will also allow you to experience spring on the “Green Flag Award” campus. We also plan to record the talks for those who cannot attend to watch at a later date. To support this and bring the remote sensing PhD and ECR community together, we are planning lots of social activities!
Location: University of Nottingham, University Park Campus (United Kingdom)
Dates: 10th and 11th April 2025
