The Earth Observation (EO) Summit 2017 brings together in one exceptional event the 38th Canadian Symposium on Remote Sensing (CSRS), the 17th Congress of the Association Québécoise de Télédétection (AQT) and the 11th Advanced SAR (ASAR) Workshop. This EO Summit 2017 is an international event to be held in Montréal from 20 to 22 June 2017. A summer school program is also offered on June 19th and a SAR training on June 23rd. Please visit our web site for the recent updates on the program and registration rates: www.sommetot2017-eosummit2017.ca .
This is the first Call for communications. The Earth Observation Summit is open to presentations (oral or poster) on any topic related to Earth Observation. Your abstracts can be submitted starting January 5th, 2017. The attached files give you the strict directives (English and French) for the format of the abstract. Do not submit your abstract via email. Submissions will be made online via the web site. For information, the list of accepted special sessions is provided at the end of this message and gives you the large range of themes that would be presented.
With that, we would want to wish everyone Happy Holidays. More on the EO Summit 2017 in the new year.
