The University of Rennes 1 and the University of Potsdam are pleased to announce their summer school on "Point clouds and change detection in the geosciences" which will be held online (16 May) and in-person (20-22 June) in Rennes, France.

May 16 will be dedicated to the teaching of the necessary basics to be able to attend the 3 other days in June. Do not miss it!

June 20 and 21 will be dedicated to theoretical background and practical applications.

On June 22, two sessions of invited speakers will be organized on "Technical state of the art" and "Applications". It will be possible to remotely attend the conferences without registration and details will be made available at a later date.
