Welcome! Bun venit!
On behalf of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS), the Organising Committee warmly invites you to join the third edition of the Machine Intelligence for GeoAnalytics and Remote Sensing (MIGARS) conference at POLITEHNICA Bucharest, Bucharest, Romania, from 2 to 4 September 2025.
MIGARS 2025 explores the powerful intersection of machine intelligence approaches, spatial analytics, and remote sensing technologies. With the tremendous advancements in data acquisition and sensing platforms, data streams in remote sensing have become too large in volume, variety, and veracity. The challenge is handling, processing, automating, and transforming complex geo-data from various sources, such as multi-platform sensors and Internet-of-Things devices, into clear, actionable insights for decision-making and monitoring our planet.
At its heart, MIGARS is committed to fostering collaboration and exploring the potential use of intelligent computational approaches for geo-data-based solutions that serve society at large. Its third edition will bring together researchers, experts, and practitioners across various disciplines, including artificial intelligence, remote sensing, geosciences, climate change and environmental research, and many more, dedicated to advancing geospatial technologies and their applications.
Our conference will be held in Bucharest, Romania's capital - a cultural destination, economic hub, and fascinating architectural landscape where rich history and traditional flavours meet modern dynamism.
We are looking forward to greeting you in Bucharest!
