The workshop will be held at Tel-Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel and will bring together scientists, students, decision makers, end users, industries, and commercial companies that are using this key technology.
The focus of the workshop will be on environmental applications based on inter- disciplinary research making use of different data sources. Other IS applications are also welcome.

The topics of the workshop are:
Potential applications of satellite IS sensors
Existing and future IS missions (e.g., CHRIS, EnMAP, Hyperion)
Existing and future airborne IS sensors (e.g., ARES, AVIRIA, APEX)
Lessons learned from 20 years of IS remote sensing
Terrestrial ecosystem remote sensing
Commercial utilization of IS technology for geology and agriculture applications
Limnology and hydrology using IS technology
Ecology and Environmental issues using IS technology
Climate change and IS technology
Requirements for different applications (spatial resolution, radiometric performance, spectral and temporal coverage,…
IS data fusion with other sensors (e.g., LIDAR)
All kinds of economic aspects of the IS technology
Methods and data processing
Atmosphere
Electro-optics and technical issues
Toward commercialization of the IS technology for environmental applications
New algorithms for IS image processing
Data compression
On-board processing
Global cal/val activities
Coordination of global data archival and distribution

Student scholarships
A limited number of scholarships for students to attend the workshop will be available. Eligibility: students who will present a paper (oral or poster).
Workshop program
The program of the workshop will include invited and free sessions, field trips, and social events. The workshop will be dedicated to honor Prof. Klaus Itten for his outstanding contribution to the European IS community over the years; a special session devoted to that end will be organized. Two field trips are planned at the end of the workshop: to the Dead Sea and Makhtesh Ramon, Southern Israel.
