Smart Earth Observations Systems Design

Prof. Dr. Ulrich Löhnert , Prof. Dr. Christian Lessig, Dr.in Sabrina Schnitt & Dr.in Maria Toporov

9th - 11th December 2025, Cologne

Join this 3-day workshop in Cologne with invited keynote talks, poster sessions, break-out groups, and plenary discussions!

The objective of this workshop is to bring together experts from Earth System observations, data assimilation and AI to discuss methods on how machine learning can be employed to optimally design the future Earth Observation system. Here, AI-generated ensembles, subject to a wide range of hypothetical observations, may prove to be a key ingredient. On the long-term, advanced algorithmic methods for Earth Observation System design could be identified, so that instrument hardware development could be more driven by demands from Earth System science.
