EarliCOST participated in the 32nd International Laser Radar Conference (ILRC32), held from 5-10 July 2026 in Hiroshima, Japan.

Organized by the Laser Radar Society of Japan (LRSJ) under the auspices of the International Coordination Group on Laser Atmospheric Studies (ICLAS), ILRC32 brought together the international lidar community to exchange the latest advances in atmospheric remote sensing and Earth observation.

The conference featured cutting-edge research on:

Lidar studies of clouds, aerosols, and their interactions
Advances in lidar techniques and methodologies
Ground-based lidars and networking
Coherent and incoherent wind lidar technologies and applications
Greenhouse and trace gases monitoring
Lidar observations in the stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere
Signal processing and AI/ML techniques for lidar data analysis
Model validation and data assimilation using lidar observations

EarliCOST was pleased to contribute to this leading international event and engage with researchers and experts from around the world.
