The 2026 Nature Forum on the Future of Sensing Technologies will take place in Seoul, South Korea, on 13 April 2026. Hosted in partnership with Yonsei University, Sungkyunkwan University, and Hanyang University, this one-day meeting marks the official launch of Nature Sensors, a new journal dedicated to connecting and empowering the global sensing community.

The Forum will bring together scientists, engineers, and researchers from across disciplines to explore the current state and future directions of sensing technologies. The programme will feature expert talks, discussions on emerging opportunities and challenges in the field, and an interactive session in which Nature Sensors editors and leading experts will jointly examine key issues and potential solutions shaping the next generation of sensing.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to engage with researchers during a dedicated poster session, providing a platform for students and participants to showcase their work and exchange ideas.

Join us in Seoul for a day of scientific insight, community building, and a first look at the vision behind Nature Sensors.

ICGDA2026 is Co-sponsored by Ecole Centrale de Marseille, Aix Marseille University, France, and Palacky University, Czech Republic. The theme for the conference is "Geoinformatics and Data Analysis". On behalf of the organizing committee, we are pleased to announce that the 2026 9th International Conference on Geoinformatics and Data Analysis (ICGDA 2026) will be held from April 13 to 15, 2026 in Lyon, France. The First two ICGDA conferences were held in Prague, Czech Republic successfully and ICGDA2020-2022 conferences were held as online form because of COVID-19 and travel restrictions. ICGDA 2023 was held as a hybrid conference after COVID-19 and the physical conference was taken place in Faculté de Saint Jérôme, Aix Marseille Université. ICGDA2024 was held in Paris and ICGDA2025 was held in Nice in person successively.

The annual neuroethics conference celebrates the international neuroethics community and the importance of building connections across distances, disciplines, perspectives, and between people all around the globe. The development of ethical research, treatments, and technologies cannot occur in isolation — it requires respect, humility, sustained partnerships, and the recognition of shared goals.

This year’s meeting theme — Building Bridges and Cultivating Community — provides an opportunity for discussion of the ethical implications of advancements in brain sciences and technologies, how these developments intersect with the lived experiences of people and their communities, and their potential to impact public discourse and social progress.

The meeting will bring together people to examine critical neuroethics issues and advance frameworks for equitable and culturally-sensitive practices — with an emphasis on listening to and amplifying underrepresented voices. Participants include researchers, scholars, clinicians, technology developers, policymakers, caregivers, advocates, and people with lived experience. Together we will join in dialogue around mindful engagement of neuroethics work in order to support beneficial neurotechnologies and mental health treatments.

This is a critical moment to highlight the importance of community and collaborative approaches to neuroethics. With multiple regional hubs, the meeting is structured to facilitate access, foster trust, and forge connections between people, and strengthen this international community that is dedicated to advancing neuroethics and growing its impact.
