Conference and Forum Activities

The IDEA team is passionate about organizing activities at local, regional, and global conferences to engage with the geoscience and remote sensing community.  This page has details about our most recent conference and forum activities, including several events at IGARSS 2024 and 3-minute thesis support at CRSS.

IDEA also sponsored two mentees and mentors from our Women Mentoring Women program in 2023 and 2024 to attend conferences. Read about their experiences below!

  • Speed mentoring event to create new mentor/mentee relationships with over 80 people in attendance!
