The Big Data from Space 2025 (BiDS) event convenes key stakeholders from industry, academia, EU institutions and governmental entities to explore the evolving landscape of space, big data and related emerging technologies.
The conference takes place in Riga, Latvia on 29-30 September, 2025 at the University of Latvia and on 1-3 October, 2025 at the National Library of Latvia. the event is sponsored by European Commission - Joint Research Centre, European Space Agency, researchLatvia and Ministry of Education and Science Republic of Latvia.
Together, we want to explore and learn how space-driven insights and foresight, and synergies between diverse space domains and technologies - Earth Observation, Space Science, Weather, Climate and Planetary Observation, Navigation, Positioning and Telecommunications, Mission Operations and System Engineering - can provide a robust foundation for evidence-informed decision-making. These insights are critical in addressing global societal challenges, including climate change, sustainable competitiveness, and civil security.
BiDS 2025 will focus on the following core themes:
- Big Data from Space-driven transformation in policy and society;
