We invite proposals for tutorials to be organized in conjunction with the 2024 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS 2024), to be held July 7-12, 2024, in the Megaron Athens International Conference Center in Athens, Greece. Accepted tutorials will take place on Sunday, 7 July 2024 and can be either half-day or full-day events.

Tutorials should complement and enhance the scientific program by providing participants with lectures and/or practical training sessions on innovative and emerging topics within the field of Geoscience and Remote Sensing. Tutorials crafted to 1) improve community engagement, and 2) demonstrate the impact of using remote sensing data and modern tools to advance our understanding of Earth processes are highly valuable. Equally important are practical tutorials that address effective communication strategies to help the community improve the skills of communicating research. Finally, tutorials in topics that follow the Special Scientific Themes of IGARSS 2024 including but not limited to EO in the support of SDGs, sustainability, advancements of flagship Space programs, Earth and Digital Twins and, synergetic use of multiple EO missions and sensors will be highly appreciated.

The proposal should concisely describe the content of the tutorial and include:

• Title of the tutorial
• Name, affiliation and short biography of the instructor(s)
• Description of the tutorial and relevance to the IGARSS community
• Learning objectives
• Relationship to previous tutorials (at IGARSS or elsewhere)
• Prerequisites of the participants
• List of material to be distributed
• Preference for half-day or full-day tutorial. When the half-day tutorial option is selected, please specify the preference between morning or afternoon.

Proposals for tutorial sessions must reach the tutorial chairs by Wednesday, 15 November 2023. This deadline will be strictly observed, and no deadline extension will be given.

All who submitted tutorial proposals will be informed of the decisions of the tutorial chair of IGARSS 2024 by email on Friday, December 15 2023.

IGARSS 2024 will provide rooms, general presentation equipment for the speakers, and coffee breaks for the tutorials.

Tutorial proposals will be evaluated on the basis of their estimated benefit for the community and their fit within the tutorials program as a whole. Factors to be considered include relevance, timeliness, importance, diversity, and audience appeal; suitability for presentation in a half or full day format; past experience and qualifications of the instructors.
