8th IEOS

We are hosting the 8th Annual Irish Earth observation Symposium thi syear. We timed to conincide with NUIM study week so we could have free access to the big hall, plus lecture rookms for break oaway sessions. It's going to run on Thursday 30th (all-day) and Friday 31st October (half-day). The symposium will enable researchers, academia, industry and employees of public bodies to present the state of the art in Irish remote sensing and identify potential collaborations. 



In addition to the traditional presentation/poster sessions, this year's symposium will also incorporate parallel workshops. These workshops will range from software demonstrations, to the introduction of new data sets, through to the procedure for applying for ESA imagery. Hardware demonstrations will be carried out in the symposium intervals, involving instruments such as UASs, Helikites, handheld laser scanners, Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicles (ROVs) and Mobile Mapping Systems (MMSs). Hopefully we will have 4 or 5 MMS on the day, our own, plus a few from our industry partners and Irish industry. A number of international keynote speakers will be invited to open the event. These will include personnel from ESA, multinational data providers and innovators in the field of spatial data capture, management and processing.
