The lecture was chaired by Prof. WU Ji, Director General of NSSC. Over 50 research staff attended the talk.

As the Vice President for the Meetings & Symposia of IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, Prof. Camps discussed in detail with the Local Organizing Committee (LOC) of the International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium 2016 (IGARSS 2016) on a variety of topics, such as the meeting venue, events plan, budget, etc. He expressed his satisfaction with the current preparation work of the LOC and offered constructive suggestions.

After the discussion, Prof. Camps was invited to visit the CAS Key Lab. of Microwave and Remote Sensing and the Lab. of Space Environment Exploration at NSSC for scientific exchanges and in-depth discussion on possible cooperation areas in the future.

China won the bid to host the IGARSS 2016 in the IEEE GRSS Administrative Committee meeting in 2012.
