As part of the EO4CAM project (Earth Observation Laboratory for Climate Adaption and Mitigation), representatives of the Bavarian Environment Agency (LfU), the German Aerospace Centre (DLR), and the Earth Observation Research Cluster (EORC) met at the LfU in Augsburg on 27 May 2025.

We thank for the fruitful discussion and look forward to continuing the exchange.
