Workshop Objectives

Thematic Focus

The 2nd EnMAP User Workshop 2025 “From Hyperspectral Data to Environmental Understanding” will be held from April 2 to 4 at the premises of the Carl Friedrich von Siemens Foundation at Schloss Nymphenburg in Munich, Germany, just in time for EnMAP’s third birthday.

With this event we want to highlight the mission status after 3 years, outstanding scientific results and applications that have developed since the beginning of the mission and have thus contributed significantly to a better understanding of the processes on the Earth’s surface.

Furthermore, the workshop intends to provide an opportunity for exchange among the broad user community to identify new research and application areas to widen, optimize and promote the use of hyperspectral EnMAP-Data in the fields of atmospheric science, aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, agriculture, forestry, geology, soil science and many more.

The workshop program consists of three parts

The first part, held on Wednesday, April 2nd 2025 and in the morning of Thursday, April 3rd 2025, will focus on scientific presentations given by international experts as well as on scientific discussions and poster pitch presentations that target the optimized use of EnMAP-Data from the user’s perspective.

The second part of the workshop, which will take place in the afternoon of Thursday, April 3rd 2025, is dedicated to visiting some of the places near Munich, which contribute to the regions reputation as a center for space technology to learn first hand about the challenges of operating satellite missions such as EnMAP.

The third part of the workshop, conducted on Friday, April 4th 2025 will enhance the theoretical introduction of the workshop by hands-on exercises using the EnMAP-Box software. The tutorials will take place at the Department of Geography of the LMU Munich. The international EnMAP Scientific Advisory Group will meet in parallel.
