Earth observation is changing at a pace the field hasn't seen before. Artificial Intelligence is reshaping how satellite data gets analyzed, new sensors are producing imagery at a scale that would have been unthinkable a decade ago, and the range of questions Earth Observation can answer keeps expanding. The IEEE GRSS SYP Summit is where early-career researchers and engineers working at that frontier come together, to hear from leading scientists, present their own work, and build the professional connections that will define the next decade of the field. In 2026, the summit comes to Naples. Two days of talks and research in one of the most vibrant cities in Europe.
Our goal is to create a space where early-career researchers and students in Earth observation can share their work, meet their future collaborators, and think seriously about where the field, and their careers, are heading.
