The International Institute of Information Technology Bangalore (IIIT-B) is hosting the 2023 IEEE India Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (InGARSS 2023) from December 10-13, 2023.  

The symposium, which is third in its series, is a research conference for remote sensing and geoscience researchers and practitioners. An IEEE GRSS (Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society) regional conference, it is organized by the society’s Bengaluru chapter. 

The conference is aimed at providing a platform for sharing knowledge and experience on recent developments and advancements in geoscience and remote sensing technologies, particularly in the context of earth observations, and disaster monitoring, relevant to the Indian subcontinent, and others. 

The programme will see plenary keynote talks, research paper presentations, doctoral colloquium, tutorials, community events, industry presentations, and exhibits. It would feature also space technology events in co-operation with international space agencies such as NASA/JPL, ISRO/NRSC, ESA, and DLR.  

The opening ceremony of the event on December 10,2023 would feature Dr. Sanghamitra Bandhyopadhyay, Director, Indian Statistical Institute (ISI), Kolkata, as the chief guest.  

“Dr. Bandhyopadhyay’s presence reinforces the significant place of machine learning and artificial intelligence in the geoscience domain,” said a release from the event organisers. 

The plenary keynote talks will be delivered by Dr. Harini Nagendra, ecologist with Azim Premji University, Bengaluru, Dr. Armando Marino, University of Stirling, UK, and Mr. Rashmit Singh, CTO, Satsure, Bengaluru.
