Join the 3rd CLMS General Assembly, 2026 Edition

Engage, learn, and collaborate with the vibrant Copernicus Land Monitoring Service community.
 

Open conversations and exclusive dialogues

This third instalment of the CLMS General Assembly is organised jointly by the European Environment Agency (EEA) and the Joint Research Centre (JRC), as implementors of the CLMS, and brings together three unique meetings designed to spark ideas and meaningful conversations. 

As our flagship networking event, the General Assembly is open to everyone, offering a chance to connect, share perspectives, and be part of the wider community. These will include a poster session, a marketplace where you can meet the CLMS experts, panel discussions, and much more. 

The National Collaboration Programme General Assembly is by invitation only and the Global Network of Users is open, offering a more focused space for in-depth discussions and strategic collaboration.

Learn from expert-led panel discussions, explore groundbreaking research, and discover how CLMS tools are transforming industries. Whether you’re a policymaker, researcher, industry professional, service provider, or user, this event offers unmatched opportunities to expand your knowledge, network with other experts, and have an impact on the future of CLMS.

The 2026 theme

This year, for the first time, we have a theme: The Mediterranean, with subtopics on key climate change impacts such as water, fire, and emergencies.

Where to stay

The event will take place in Cyprus' beautiful coastal city of Ayia Napa, which is surrounded by stunning nature. 

Book your stay at the Grecian Park Hotel and enjoy an exclusive discount rate for participants of the event. This rate is valid from a stay within the period of 21 April to 8 May, giving you the opportunity to experience the Cypriot landscape and culture beyond the event.

How to get there

Ayia Napa is located on the south-eastern coast of Cyprus. Although you can fly into either Paphos (PFO) or Larnaka (LCA) airports, we strongly recommend Larnaka airport as it is the main international airport and is only about a 45-minute drive from the venue.

Paphos is on the west side of the island and roughly 2.5 hours away by car.

Please note that participants are kindly asked to arrange their own transport from the airport to Ayia Napa. Taxis, car rentals, and private transfer are readily available at both airports. More practical information on transport will be provided after completing the registration.
