Registration Open for European Space Agency’s Living Planet Symposium 2025
Registrations have officially commenced for the upcoming Living Planet Symposium (LPS), organized by the European Space Agency (ESA). Scheduled to take place from 23 to 27 June 2025 in Vienna, Austria, this symposium is recognized as one of the preeminent conferences dedicated to Earth observation globally.
Taking place every three years, the symposium serves as a significant platform for sharing cutting-edge scientific insights and discussing applications derived from satellite data. This year, the five-day event promises to focus extensively on the shift from mere observation to actionable climate strategies and the attainment of sustainability goals for our planet.
The in-person format of the symposium offers a rare opportunity to network with various professionals from the space industry, including academics, government representatives, and students at the Austria Center Vienna. Notably, there will not be an option for remote participation.
The organization of LPS 2025 is being bolstered by the collaboration of the Austrian Research Promotion Agency and Austria’s Federal Ministry of Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology.
