The 44th EARSeL Symposium took place on 26-29 May 2025, this year in Prague! Most of the DPZ section of our department participated. We presented several talks, including one keynote, a poster, and we were in charge of a special session entitled "Nature conservation: multiscale remote sensing in nature conservation".

Following last year’s success, we have opened registration for the 2025 edition of the standalone course Spatial Data Science in Python, which is open to everyone and leads to a European micro-credentials certificate. This time, we’ve adjusted the schedule so you can participate even with a full-time job or if you live overseas. The course will take place in two blocks – September 8–12 and September 22–26, 2025, each day from 16:00 to 18:00 CEST. Registration is open until August 31, 2025.

At this year's GIS Esri Conference in the Czech Republic, researchers Mgr. Günter Kyncl and RNDr. Jakub Lysák, Ph.D., achieved significant success.
