Living Planet Symposium 2025
The European Space Agency (ESA) is excited to announce that the Living Planet Symposium 2025 (LPS25) will be held from June 23–27, 2025, at the Austria Center Vienna, Austria. As this prestigious event approaches, researchers and experts in the field of Earth observation are invited to submit their abstracts for a chance to present their work. This year's theme is "From Observation to Climate Action and Sustainability for Earth," reflecting the urgent need to address the escalating climate crisis.
The Living Planet Symposium is a premier global event in Earth observation, taking place every three years. The 2025 edition will focus on the critical transition from observation to actionable solutions, emphasizing sustainability and climate initiatives.
Key Aims of the Symposium:
- Earth Science Frontiers: Highlight how leveraging existing and new mission data enhances our understanding and modeling of interconnected planetary systems.
- Climate Action and Sustainability Challenges: Showcase how Earth observation contributes to monitoring, mitigation, and adaptation efforts to address environmental and societal challenges, ultimately reducing the impacts of crises.
- Earth Observation Missions: Present findings from ESA’s Earth observation science, Copernicus, and meteorological missions, as well as results from national programs. New concepts for sensors, missions, and data products will also be featured.
- Digital Innovation and Green Solutions: Explore the integration of digital technologies and tools that enable green solutions, revolutionizing the market landscape. Innovations in operational frameworks and their effects on efficiency, interoperability, data management, and services will be discussed.
- Partnerships with Industry for New Applications: Emphasize the importance of building on existing partnerships and fostering new alliances to enhance access to capital, boost commercialization, and encourage dialogue within the New Space ecosystem.
- Global Cooperation and Policy Support: Highlight the role of space infrastructures and data in supporting European and international institutions, facilitating policies, and promoting cooperation across various sectors, including energy, climate, and sustainability.
This is an excellent opportunity to engage with leading scientists, researchers, and industry experts from around the world, exchange ideas, and showcase the latest advancements in Earth science and observation technologies.
