Invited session proposals are solicited for the 2022 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, to be held 17-22 July, 2022, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Proposals for invited sessions must reach the Co-Chairs of the Technical Program Committee by Monday, 4 October 2021. This deadline will be strictly observed, and no deadline extension will be given.

Each proposal should include

• Chair and Co-Chair names, institutional affiliations and contact information
• Session title
• Brief description of session with keywords
• A short abstract (with at least 250 and fewer than 500 words)
• List of potential invitees
• the associated IGARSS 2022 theme (see list of themes)

In general, each invited session will be composed of 5 papers. For those who want to propose longer sessions, please submit multiple sessions (such as Session Name: ABCDEF(Part 1), Session Name: ABCDEF(Part 2), where each session has 5 papers.

Preference will be given to Invited Sessions referring to the topics designated as special interest for IGARSS 2022:

• UAV and Drone Based Remote Sensing
• Remote Sensing and Disease Control
• Remote Sensing in South East Asia and Developing Countries
• Remote Sensing for the Sustainable Development Goals

Should the proposed Invited Session be accepted into the technical program, the chair and co-chair should confirm that their potential invitees commit to attend and deliver a presentation at the IGARSS 2021. When seeking such commitment, we suggest that the chairs of the invited session advise the invited presenters that, until November, a place for the session in the final technical program cannot be guaranteed, as the competition for invited session places is strong and the number of sessions that will be accepted is limited (no more than 30% of the total oral sessions).

The letters of acceptance for Invited Sessions will be mailed on Monday, 8 November 2021.

All who submitted invited session proposals will be informed of the decisions of the technical program chairs of IGARSS 2022 by email on Monday, November 8 2021.
