On December 7, 2025, Erik Scheurer and Gabriele Cavallaro from the Jülich Supercomputing Center attended the inaugural Representation Learning for Earth Observation (REO) workshop at EurIPS 2025 in Copenhagen, Denmark. They presented the poster “LEPA: Learning Geometric Equivariance in Earth Observation with a Predictive Architecture” during the poster session slots between talks. Their work explores…
Early October, as part of the Big Data from Space 2025 conference, in Riga, Latvia, Embed2Scale partner IBM Research contributed a keynote by Thomas Brunschwiler titled “Tokens and Embeddings: The New Lingua Franca for Exploring Planet Earth.” The presentation showcased the Embed2Scale consortium’s work on Earth Observation (EO) embedding workflows and benchmarking, alongside IBM’s advancements…
On September 17, 2025, Miguel A. Belenguer-Plomer, representing project partner SatCen, presented new research on maritime awareness at SPIE Security + Defence 2025. His presentation, “Insights into deep learning-based vessel detection and characterization using SAR and AIS data”, introduced an approach that combines Sentinel‑1 radar imagery with AIS vessel records to detect and classify ships…
We are pleased to announce the release of NeuCo-Bench, a lightweight, task-driven benchmarking framework for evaluating compact Earth Observation (EO) embeddings. Originally developed to support submissions for the EARTHVISION 2025 Challenge at CVPR, NeuCo-Bench is now available as a standalone toolkit for local evaluation and research use. What is NeuCo-Bench? NeuCo-Bench is a model-agnostic evaluation framework…
We’re proud to announce that the Embed2Scale project will be strongly represented at the upcoming ESA Living Planet Symposium 2025 (LPS25), the international event gathering the Earth Observation community to advance the transition from satellite-based observation to climate action and sustainable innovation. Dr. Conrad Albrecht from the German Aerospace Center (DLR) will present a series…
The European Space Agency’s Living Planet Symposium 2025 (LPS25) is set to take place from 23–27 June 2025 in Vienna, Austria, bringing together the global Earth Observation (EO) community under the theme “From Observation to Climate Action and Sustainability for Earth.” Held every three years, the Living Planet Symposium is one of the world’s premier…
The Embed2Scale consortium is proud to announce its participation in the upcoming ESA Living Planet Symposium 2025, one of the world’s foremost events for Earth Observation research, taking place in Vienna, Austria, from 23–27 June 2025.
