32nd International Laser Radar Conference
The 32nd International Laser Radar Conference (ILRC32) will be held in Hiroshima, Japan, July 5-10, 2026.
The ILRC is held biannually under auspices of the International Coordination Group on Laser Atmospheric Studies (ICLAS),
a working group of the International Radiation Commission (IRC), International Association of Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences (IAMAS).
The ILRC32 will be hosted by the Laser Radar Society of Japan (LRSJ) with the cooperation of Research Institute for Applied Mechanics, Kyushu University, National Institute for Environmental Studies and Institute for Laser Technology.
The venue will be the Hiroshima International Conference Center in Peace Memorial Park.
ILRC32 will be held entirely in a face-to-face format.

European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT)
EUMETSAT is the European operational satellite agency for monitoring weather, climate and the environment from space. It's mission is to establish, maintain and exploit constellations of meteorological satellite systems that observe the atmosphere and ocean and land surfaces – 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. EUMETSAT is currently considering the addition of a doppler wind lidar system for the 2030s to measure wind and aerosols in a low earth orbit. More information on EUMETSAT and it's capabilities and data can be found at "www.eumetsat.int"
