Artificial intelligence and Earth Observation: from Innovation to Services
March 9 @ 9:00 am - March 10 @ 5:00 pm CET
“Artificial intelligence and Earth Observation: from Innovation to Services” is a two-day hybrid workshop taking place on 9-10 March 2026 (09:00–17:00 CET), in Brussels and online.
The event brings together Copernicus and DestinE users, Earth observation and digital service providers, policy makers, industry, academia and IT experts to explore how the rapid evolution of Artificial IntelligenceArtificial Intelligence is the capacity of an algorithm to a More and Machine LearningField of statistical research focused on training computatio More is transforming the way Earth observation data are developed, delivered and used.
With more than a decade of Copernicus data now available, the convergence of AI/ML, High Performance Computing, big data and Digital Twins is opening the door to a new generation of applications and services. The workshop will focus on how these innovations can be translated into operational, trustworthy and policy-relevant services, while addressing emerging user needs and expectations.
The programme will feature high-level keynote talks, technical briefings, panel discussions and live demonstrations, with a particular emphasis on AI-driven innovation, responsible use of data, and synergies between Copernicus and Destination Earth (DestinE) in view of the upcoming MFF 2028-2034.
The workshop is hosted by the European Commission Directorate-General for Defence Industry and Space (DG DEFIS), with support from the Space Research Unit of HaDEA.
Participation is hybrid: on-site registration is now closed due to full capacity, while online attendance remains open. Live streaming will be available, with interactive Q&A sessions via a Slido-type tool.
