Socially, Bonn is an extremely active city with lots of art galleries, gardens, and a buzzing nightlife to provide.
Organized with the assistance of the German Aerospace Center, the week-long event focuses on how Earth observation adds to both science and society. With over 240 scientific sessions in the world observation science and satellite missions, there will also be a large range of sessions focusing on advances in artificial intelligence, digital twins of Earth, commercial opportunities thanks to the space industry, the upcoming ESA Ministerial Council in 2022, and far more.
