The Biennial International Conference "Earth from space -the most effective solutions" - is one of the largest and most important events in the sphere of remote sensing on the territory of Russia and CIS, every two years gathers about 300 participants from different countries, representatives of the world leading remote sensing programs, data processing software developers and receiving stations producers, as well as members from different organizations and leading specialist that use remotely sensed data for decision making to resolve a variety of practical tasks: from management of territories and big industrial facilities, real-time monitoring, including emergencies, to development and implementation of socio-cultural and educational projects and programs.

Workshops, seminars, master classes, conference hall exhibitions and unique outdoor demonstrations of real-time satellite data acquisition hardware will be held, encouraging attendees to take part in and to learn more about the methods of reception, processing and interpretation of remotely sensed data, using state-of-the-art software tools.

The goal of the conference is to show the experience of practical use of satellite monitoring in different branches of economy together with the recent developments in remote sensing as the backbone of cost-efficiently functioning economic systems.

Workshops, seminars, master classes, exhibition in the conference hall and outdoor exhibition are arranged during the conference dedicated to advanced techniques in reception, processing and interpretation of remote sensing data, up-to-date foreign and Russian software technologies, products, services, developments and inventions in remote sensing and related spheres, demonstration of modern outdoor equipment and technologies for real-time satellite data acquisition.

The International Conference "Earth from Space - the most effective solutions" is the perfect opportunity to demonstrate and discover the latest developments, innovations and achievements in sphere of space information technology.

The 3rd International Conference "Earth from Space - the most effective solutions" is sponsored by an influential ISPRS organization (International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing) with the information support from RBC publishing house, GIS-association, Geoprofi magazine, as well as foreign mass media representatives: GIM International and GIS Development.
