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’.

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.

🛰️ The 16th edition of the International Summer school on GNSS, organised by the European Space Agency – ESA, the Joint Research Centre
🗓️ in Arachova, Greece, from 14 to 25 July 2025
📝 10 days of lectures by internationally renowned specialists, practical exercises and lab work.

Who can apply:
● Graduate students
● PhD students and postdoctoral researchers
● Young engineers and professionals from industry and agencies
● Registrations are limited to 60 participants, apply now (first come first served)

The objective of this summer school to provide the attendees with a comprehensive overview on satellite navigation, starting from the GNSS system, its signals, the processing of the observations in a receiver and finally determining the position-navigation-time (PNT) solution. Many lab work will be carried out to get attendees really “hands-on”. In addition, lectures on Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and Patents as well as on business aspects are given. The future of satellite systems is also discussed. Main emphasis will be put on the development of a group project using innovative ideas and covering all aspects from the idea, business plan, technical realisation till the marketing of the product or the service.

Internationally renowned scientists and specialists will give the lectures as well as the practical exercises and lab work. The program is open to graduate students (with a first university degree), Ph.D. candidates, early-stage researchers and young professional willing to broaden their knowledge.

Space Apps for Earth Impact: Building Arctic Solutions from Orbit

This interdisciplinary invites participants from diverse backgrounds—such as engineering, physics, business, law, environment, analytics, law, and IT—to design innovative tools that contribute to a more sustainable space ecosystem—and a more resilient Arctic society.

The mission

Design and prototype an innovative software application or digital tool that:

• Uses data from satellites (e.g. images, weather, positioning, communications)
• Has a clear, practical impact on Arctic society or industry
• Includes a basic business plan or idea for how the product could be used or sold
• Shows how Andøya Space could benefit from or help deliver your solution

Teams will compete for a cash prize and a chance to land a summer internship at KSAT, a global leader in satellite services and space sustainability. Travel and accommodation costs up to 5000 NOK / 4730 SEK / 433 EUR will be covered for student participants.
