CiTIUS, the global epicentre for a pioneering international school in Remote Sensing

In June 2024, the Singular Research Centre in Intelligent Technologies (CiTIUS), a member of the CIGUS Network, an initiative launched by the regional government (Xunta de Galicia) that groups together centres of accredited scientific excellence, will be hosting a prestigious IEEE international summer school, with the participation of key partners including the European and US space agencies (ESA – NASA).

CiTIUS is bringing this event to the city under the supervision of researcher Dora Blanco: up to 30 students from around the world will gather to explore the latest innovations in computing technologies applied to Earth observation.

This school will provide the ideal setting for networking between students and young professionals working in the field, as well as researchers and senior professors who are globally acknowledged leaders in remote sensing and engage in interdisciplinary research involving high-performance computing, cloud computing, quantum computing, and parallel programming models with specialised hardware technologies.

The HDCRS school promises to be an enriching experience, equipping students with the knowledge and skills to leverage the most advanced technologies in remote sensing applications. The school is free of charge, with travel grant opportunities: the organization is offering approximately 10 travel grants of $800 each to support participants. The deadline for grant applications is 20th February 2024
