The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) will host a two-day hybrid workshop on Future Directions for Earth Observations and Data Stewardship, taking place 2–3 December 2025.

The event will gather leaders from government, academia, the private sector, and philanthropy to explore strategies for building a resilient and collaborative Earth observations ecosystem. Discussions will focus on:

• Roles and responsibilities across sectors for the collection, stewardship, coordination, and governance of Earth observation data;

• Barriers and opportunities to strengthen governance and data sharing;

• Advancing collaboration and impact within a globally integrated Earth observation system.

The workshop aims to foster dialogue on enhancing governance structures, supporting innovation, and improving coordination across the expanding network of Earth observation providers and users.

Participation is open, but in-person spaces are limited. Interested participants are encouraged to register early to indicate their attendance preference and receive updates on the agenda and speakers.
