EGU 2026

3 May - 8 May

The EGU General Assembly brings together geoscientists from all over the world to one meeting covering all disciplines of the Earth, planetary and space sciences. The EGU aims to provide a forum where scientists, especially early career researchers, can present their work and discuss their ideas with experts in all fields of geoscience.

May 5

StatEO26

5 May - 7 May

The event will facilitate the integration of Earth observation into national statistics processes and policy reporting, addressing how Earth observation data can enhance the accuracy, timeliness, and spatial granularity of key metrics used for example in natural capital assessments, agricultural monitoring, and GHG emission reporting. The aim is to accelerate the way Earth observation can effectively enable the policy implementation and the simplification of transversal reporting.

May 12

ESA CommEO

12 May - 14 May

The 3rd ESA Earth Observation Commercialisation Forum is focused on the latest trends arising in the Earth observation commercial market.

Workshop on AI foundation model for Earth observation

19 May - 22 May

Building on the success of the first edition, the goal of this second workshop is to develop more highly dimensional, physically grounded models (multimodality/sensor, multitemporal, multiresolution), revisit pretraining/pretext tasks, integrate climate/weather principles, and include uncertainty quantification and evolving beyond static pipelines toward modular agentic AI that can dynamically reason and act on Earth observation data.
