ISPRS-ISDE 2025: Geo-Digitalisation for Sustainable Development Goals and 3rd Youth Innovation Forum of Digital Earth

02 - 04 December 2025 | KCA University, Nairobi, Kenya

Registration and abstract submission is open for the 'Geo-Digitalization for Sustainable Development Goals and 3rd Youth Innovation Forum of Digital Earth' joint conference between The International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS) and the International Society for Digital Earth (ISDE).

The Youth Innovation Forum on Digital Earth is an annual conference series launched in 2023 by the ISDE, organized under its Young Scientist Innovation Network (ISDE‑YSIN). It’s a global platform for young researchers and scientists working in Digital Earth and related geospatial technologies, emphasizing their role in addressing sustainable development challenges.

The conference theme “Innovation and Future Trends in Geo-Digitalization for Sustainable Development” emphasizes how geospatial data and digital earth technologies can help achieve the United Nations’ SDGs, through enhanced decision-making, environmental monitoring, urban resilience, and more.

The event will include keynote talks by Prof. Jianya Gong, professor of Wuhan University and an academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences and Prof. Alexander Zipf, distinguished GIScientist from Heidelberg University, Chair of the GIScience Group and head of Heidelberg Institute for Geoinformation Technology (HeiGIT).

The conference is open to researchers, practitioners, and policymakers working at the intersection of remote sensing, GIS, geo‑AI, and Digital Earth technologies, young scientists (including participants in the Youth Innovation Forum), early‑career researchers or graduate students and professionals focused on how geo‑digital technology can directly contribute to SDG implementation.
