Learn about the benefits of application tracks.


Application tracks enable attendees to group and explore presentations in the conference programmes to more easily plan their event schedule around the topic of interest. See how the Sensors + Imaging community utilizes new technologies like AI/Machine learning to create and implement intelligent systems across multiple sectors. Discover how researchers are working together to address the global challenge of environmental sustainability and energy/carbon conservation. Access presentations that tap into EU-funded research programmes, initiatives, and innovation projects. Explore the Application Tracks.

Two symposia featuring the latest research


Environmental Remote Sensing technologies

Emerging sensor and photonic technologies that enable satellite-based atmospheric monitoring and observation of the Earth’s ecosystems.

Security + Defence applications
