"From Observation to Climate Action and Sustainability for Earth"

Held every three years, ESA’s Living Planet Symposia are among the world’s premier events on Earth observation. The symposia continue to expand in both size and scope. With the climate crisis intensifying, the Living Planet Symposium 2025 (LPS25) emphasises transitioning from ‘observation to climate action and sustainability for Earth’.

The event provides a forum to present and discuss the latest scientific findings and applications based on satellite data, and to review the contribution that data and technologies have made and could further make in addressing environmental and societal challenges. The symposium will showcase innovative products, services, missions and initiatives, with the overarching goal of demonstrating how science, society, policy-making, businesses and the economy can all benefit from observations made from space.

During the five-day event, diverse communities united by a common interest in exploiting Earth observation data will gather together, creating a unique opportunity to meet and network with space enthusiasts from a wide range of sectors.

Participation and Language

The symposium is open to academics, students, space industry professionals, government representatives, employees of organisations interested in using Earth observation and those from the commercial sector.

The official language of the symposium is English. Resources to help plan your attendance will be made available soon.

The Austria Center Vienna is conveniently located just seven minutes by the underground from the old town, within striking distance of the UN Headquarters, the Danube and the Donaupark. Four large hotels are in the immediate vicinity of the conference centre.
