The 13th AARSE International Conference (AARSE 2022), Earth Observations and Geospatial Science in service of Sustainable Development Goals, will be held in Kigali, Rwanda, organised by Ines-Ruhengeri from 24 – 28 October 2022. This conference under the theme “Space and geospatial technologies for the Africa we want” will be a significant event in the African and international community of Earth observation and geo-spatial information science in 2022; it will be organised by the African Association of Remote Sensing of the Environment (AARSE) and the Institut d’Enseignement Supérieur de Ruhengeri (Ines-Ruhengeri).
AARSE is a non-political scientific organisation. Its primary objective is to increase the awareness of African governments and their institutions, the private sector and society at large about the empowering and enhancing benefits of developing, applying and responsibly utilising the products and services of Earth Observation Systems and Geo-information Technology.
