Climate change, earthquakes, floods, and other natural disasters; pollution, poaching, uncontrolled urbanization, and unchecked tourist development; armed conflict and war, pose major threats to both, cultural and natural heritage sites. Ongoing monitoring of these heritage sites is therefore necessary. However, doing it on-site becomes costly and sometimes difficult since the heritage site might be in an area of difficult access.

The purpose of this workshop is to bring state-of-the-art actors in EO for heritage together, to demonstrate to both the EO industry and the heritage audience that EO data and technology have achieved a level of advancement ready to support heritage activities in a wide variety of areas.

Focussing on responsible space for sustainability with a programme providing dedicated days for agencies, industry and science and academia. There is also a day dedicated to diversity. With networking events and opportunities including Welcome Reception, breakfasts, luncheons, Events and Gala Dinner it promises to be the event to attend for Astronauts and Space this year.
