Meet us at ESA Living Planet Symposium 2025

VITO Remote Sensing is looking forward to joining the ESA Living Planet Symposium 2025 in Vienna from 22 to 27 June 2025. We’ll be contributing throughout the week with presentations, tutorials, trainings, and live demonstrations showcasing our expertise, services, tools, and applications. 

Check the daily overview below to discover all contributions, see which topics are of most interest to you and where you can meet our experts. You can also meet us at the exhibition from Monday 23 June till Friday 27 June. Visit us at VITO's Remote Sensing booth (U31) to see how we turn Earth observation data into practical answers.

We're looking forward to joining the Earth observation community at one of the world’s key events for Earth observation and connect!

Check out the programme or get in touch to arrange a meeting at ESA LPS25.
 

The programme will be updated in the coming days so please check this web page regularly for the latest information on our sessions, presentations, and activities at ESA LPS25.
