Background

The European Space Agency is organising together with the National Geological Institute and Jagiellonian University in Kraków, the 13th International workshop on “Advances in the Science and Applications of SAR Interferometry” – Fringe 2026. The workshop is taking place at the Auditorium Maximum of the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Poland, from 15 to 19 June 2026.

Participation

Fringe 2026 is a free workshop open to scientists, students, as well as representatives from national, European and international space agencies and value adding industries.
Acceptance to present in the oral and poster sessions at Fringe 2026 is determined by the Scientific and Programme Committees after they review the submitted abstracts. We are also planning to include an InSAR-industry exhibition area.
No participation fees will be charged. However, participants are expected to finance their own travel and accommodation expenses. No financial support is foreseen for the workshop. The official language of workshop is English.

Abstract Submission
Deadline extended until 08 March 2026
The abstract submission portal is open  – access it HERE
