Eradiate Workshop 2025

16–17th November 2025
ESA-ESRIN, Frascati, Italy

This event is organized jointly with ESA’s Sentinel-2 Validation Team Meeting #7.

Background and objectives #

Eradiate is an open-source new-generation 3D radiative transfer model for the Earth observation community. Its primary focus is to deliver highly accurate radiometric simulations for remote sensing applications. It is designed to be a highly flexible radiative transfer simulation environment allowing for both classic 1D, as well as advanced 3D simulations.

This two-day event will introduce participants to Eradiate from a conceptual and practical point of view. An introductory seminar will present the fundamental principles and concepts underlying Eradiate’s design, and a hands-on tutorial will help participants get familiar with the modelling workflow, including an introduction to the simulation of Sentinel-2 images over 3D vegetated surfaces.

Participation #

• This is a physical-only event: no remote participation is foreseen.
• This workshop is given in the English language.
• The tutorial assumes some familiarity with the Python programming language.
• Prior to the event, participants will have to set up their simulation environment. An online help desk will be organized two weeks prior to assist users in the setup process.
• The number of participants is limited to 20. Participants registering after this limit is reached will be placed on a waiting list and called if a seat becomes available.
• Participants are encouraged to communicate their use cases. Training can be adapted to address specific needs.
