The conference is likely the most important in the field of remote sensing, with the participation of thousands of delegates from academics, research and industry. The theme for IGARSS 2017 is “International Cooperation for Global Awareness” which emphasizes the need, organizers stressed, to work together to address many challenges we are facing today.

The talk has been given by Fabio Del Frate (University of Rome Tor Vergata). Announcement of the call for expression of interest recently launched by the project to increase the number of the partners has been also given. “In fact, very high ranked European Universities expressed preliminary interest for the initiative”, says Del Frate.
