The MasterClass « Earth Resources Remote Sensing and Extra-terrestrial Resources Exploration and Utilization, » hosted by the Académie Spatiale d’Ile de France and Université Paris Cité, will take place from February 17-21, 2025, at the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris.

Participants will gain insights into cutting-edge technologies in Earth resource monitoring with remote sensing and geodesy, as well as the exploration and utilization of extraterrestrial resources.

Esteemed lecturers from leading research laboratories (Polytechnique Montreal, Centre d’Étude de la Biosphère, German Research Center for Geoscience Potsdam, Université Luxembourg, Université Paris Saclay, Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris), large and small companies (Total Energy, Blue Origin, Ispace, MinersAI), and space agencies and international organizations (European Space Agency, European Commission, Centre National d’Études Spatiales) will share expertise in remote sensing, AI applications, policy frameworks, and space mining and lunar resource prospection.

The program includes 18 lectures, one industrial site visit, and case studies to provide hands-on experience. Lunches with the lecturers and a social event in Saint-Germain-des-Prés will offer networking opportunities. A few places are still available.
