Charting new territories in AI

We invite submissions for the AI4Space workshop at CVPR 2026, focusing on the intersection of artificial intelligence and space science. We welcome contributions that explore innovative AI applications in space science, Earth observation, and space exploration.

Submissions should be original and not under consideration elsewhere. All accepted papers will be presented at the workshop, and selected papers will be invited for publication in a special issue of a peer-reviewed journal.

We encourage submissions from researchers, practitioners, and students working on AI applications in space. The workshop aims to foster collaboration and discussion on the latest advancements and challenges in this field.

Submissions should be made through the Open Review.
