We are delighted to announce the International Conference on Advanced Remote Sensing – Shaping Sustainable Global Landscapes (ICARS 2025), scheduled to take place in Barcelona, Spain, from March 26–28, 2025.
The conference will focus on how advanced remote sensing technologies are transforming our approach to global challenges. Over three days, we will explore innovations in Earth and environmental sciences, engineering advancements, and practical applications in biological and agricultural fields.
The Summit “Space Agenda for Tomorrow” will bring together international organizations, scientists, space agencies, and industry representatives from the Remote Sensing community with the aim to debate prominent points at the top of the agenda for the sector and identify key global challenges of tomorrow consistent with sustainability and the Sustainable Development Goals. With an eye on the present and walking the path to 2030, the Summit will cover critical issues such as climate change, landscape protection and infrastructure assessment, food security, biodiversity, sustainable ocean economy, pollution, and natural hazards.
We are also committed to showcasing the work of early-stage researchers, and the majority of the oral presentations will be selected from submitted abstracts. Crucially, the program will provide plenty of opportunities to casually network via poster sessions and refreshment breaks.
ICARS 2025 promises insightful discussions and innovative solutions for a sustainable world. Don't miss your chance to be part of this pivotal gathering—mark your calendar today!
We look forward to seeing you in Barcelona!
Sincerely,
Prof. Dr. Fabio Tosti, Prof. Dr. Andrea Benedetto & Prof. Dr. Luis Ángel Ruiz

In recent years, the utilization of drones has increased globally, with fresh applications and uses continually emerging. In remote, rural regions, drones have the potential to perform a wide range of tasks, including surveillance via cameras or other sensors; this enables them to act as mobile gateways and provide connectivity or facilitate the transportation of goods to challenging, remote locations. While many of these applications are closely associated with primary sector activities such as agriculture and livestock, their adaptability extends to various other industries and urban areas.
This webinar will present three referent European projects associated with the development of rural areas, and it will use drones as the main thread. The scope of drone utilization in rural regions is extensive, spanning sectors such as agriculture, forestry, livestock, other industrial domains, environmental monitoring, and the assessment of water quality in rivers and lakes. Drones also play a vital role in firefighting efforts and provide assistance to the population, particularly elderly individuals.
We are privileged to feature recognized industry and academic experts who will share their experiences and insights regarding the effective leveraging of these technologies to achieve enhanced results and elevate the productivity of drones. So, whether you are a researcher, applied scientist, commercial drone user, or simply interested in the development of drones, we invite you to join us for this webinar.
Additionally, CHAMELEON, ICAERUS and SPADE are the organizations working with us for this webinar. Kindly find more information about the organizations below:
- CHAMELEON is a Horizon Europe Project that aims to optimize production and identify potential problems in agriculture, livestock, forestry and rural areas. For more information, kindly visit https://chameleon-heu.eu;
- ICAERUS is an EU-funded project that aspires to advance the use of drones in agricultural production, forestry and rural communities. For more information, kindly visit https://icaerus.eu/;
- SPADE is a project funded by the European Union within the Horizon Europe program, with 21 partners from 10 European countries. For more information, kindly visit https://spade-horizon.eu/.

Quiet Drones is a symposium focused on all aspects of noise and acoustics from Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS, also known as ‘drones’) and VTOLs (i.e., ‘flying taxis’).
Quiet Drones 2024 is organised by the University of Salford (UK) and will present methods under development for establishing measurement standards on noise from UAS and VTOLs, as well as new metrics to characterise the impact of their noise on people and the environment. The symposium will explain recent advances in the study of noise generation and control at its source as well as propagation in different flying conditions and environments. Acoustic tools for the detection and identification of drones will be presented as well as drone audition methods for search and rescue. Lastly, public acceptance of the noise of delivery UAS as well as of air taxis in European cities and the rest of the world will be discussed.
