2025 30th EUMETSAT Meteorological Satellite Conference
September 15 @ 9:00 am - September 19 @ 6:00 pm CEST
France
The 2025 EUMETSAT Meteorological Satellite Conference will be held in Lyon, France from 15 to 19 September. Organised by EUMETSAT in collaboration with Météo-France, the conference will bring together the global meteorological and Earth observation community to explore how space-based technologies are helping societies prepare for the impacts of weather and climate change.
This year’s theme – “From Space to Safety: Earth Observation for Future Weather and Climate Preparedness” – highlights the essential role of satellite data in forecasting, risk management and policy support. The programme includes plenary, poster and workshop sessions, covering topics such as international EO programmes, altimetry from space, prediction evolution, decision-making applications, data integration, and sea ice remote sensing in the Arctic.
Two hands-on short courses will be offered: one on severe storm nowcasting using MTG data (16 September, 12:00–14:30), and another on EUMETSAT active fire products using Python (18 September, 12:00–14:30). Participation is limited and can be indicated during registration.
Registration is now open. Fees range from €420 (early bird) to €540, with discounted rates for students. The early registration deadline is 18 July 2025. Early check-in and a welcome drink will take place on Sunday 14 September from 16:00 at the Lyon Congress Centre.
The venue, located in the Cité Internationale district of Lyon, offers modern facilities and easy access to restaurants, hotels and the Parc de la Tête d’Or. Participants are encouraged to book accommodation early, as Lyon is a popular congress destination in September.
