The main topics of this workshop are as follows:

• Latest advances in AI FMs

• Novel applications using AI FMs

• Adapting FMs to geospatial data (multimodal, multiresolution, etc. including Language Models, VLMs) and specific EO tasks 

• Moving from FMs towards data-driven Digital Twins 

• Advances in using FMs in atmospheric science

• Exploring embedding space for causality, science discovery, semantic data mining and data volume reduction 

• Science-based approaches to benchmarking and evaluating FMs in EO 

• Computational challenges in training large-scale FMs 

• Agentic AI for EO and its integration with FMs

• Ethical considerations and responsible AI use in EO (bias, transparency, accountability, centralization and democratization, etc.) 

• Commercial use of FMs in EO
