LEONSEGS participated, through its partner Paris Lodron University of Salzburg (PLUS), in the 43rd EARSeL Symposium, held in Manchester from June 17th to 20th, 2024. This prestigious international conference focused on research exchange in Earth Observation (EO) and attracted a diverse audience of around 200 researchers, students and professionals from Earth and environmental sciences that work with remotely sensed data. 

The event, organized by EARSeL (European Association of Remote Sensing Laboratories), counted on the participation of LEONSEGS project partner PLUS, whose team of experts included Felix Kröber, Martin Sudmanns, Luke McQuade, Sohpia Klaussner and Dirk Tiede. Their involvement underscored the project’s dedication to advancing in the field of earth observation analysis through innovative research and collaboration.  

Therefore, one of the highlights of this event was a thematic workshop, organised by PLUS, regarding “semantics” in EO analyses – the core element of the research PLUS is conducting within the LEONSEGS project. Three presentations were carried out, each exploring different facets of semantic analysis and its applications, which led to interesting discussions among attendees. 

Throughout the symposium, PLUS also actively engaged with the scientific community by distributing informative Flyers about the project, helping to raise awareness about its objectives and activities. Moreover, attendees appreciated the depth of knowledge shared during the workshop and the opportunity to discuss the latest developments in earth observation analysis.  

The participation of LEONSEGS represented a very important moment for the project’s communication, allowing it to be part of an event that exemplifies the importance of international collaboration in driving research and technological innovation forward.
