The 12th OpenSky Symposium
07/08 November 2024 – Hamburg, Germany
About
Since its launch in 2013, the OpenSky Network has quickly evolved to a large-scale air traffic control data collection and sharing platform. With more than 5000 sensors registered across the globe and more than 50000 users, the OpenSky Network is greatly contributing towards the vision of a more efficient, secure, and reliable operation of the airspace by providing open accessibility of air traffic control data to the public.
Following the successful events in past years, we are proud to announce the 12th OpenSky Symposium. The two-day event will be hosted by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in November 2024. Since its 8th iteration, the Symposium is also supported by the Performance Review Commission (PRC) of EUROCONTROL. The PRC aims to establish an Open Performance Data platform available in cooperation with Opensky Network and its community and will support the Symposium and some of the most relevant submissions. We encourage all submissions to consider the PRC research challenges outlined at the 11th Symposium on Safety (airspace complexity, flight interactions/separation), Environment (estimation of fuel burn/emissions), and System/Network Performance (traffic flow interdependencies).
The event is targeted at anyone interested in data-based aviation research. The Symposium will serve as a forum to discuss new ideas, the network itself, and research activities around OpenSky. Participants are invited to actively contribute to the program by presenting their projects at the Symposium. In the past years, the symposium attracted a diverse and interesting audience from research, authorities, and industry.
We are aiming for an in-person event to foster creative exchanges and discussions. There will be many opportunities to get to know the community during the social activities around the Symposium program.

Venue
The Symposium will take place at the DLR Center for Applied Aviation Research (ZAL) at Hein-Saß-Weg 22 in Hamburg Finkenwerder, Germany. More detailed information about the location of the venue, parking, etc., can be found on the overview map.
Few important facts:
- If you choose a hotel in Hamburg's Finkenwerder district, you'll find it conveniently close to the Symposium, yet somewhat distant from the city center of Hamburg. Some options for hotels in Finkenwerder are Rilano Hotel Hamburg or Hotel Elbinsel.
- If you want to stay closer to the city center of Hamburg and rely on public transport, we recommend chosing a hotel close to the north shore of the Elbe river/harbour as you will need to cross the river by ferry (e.g., Landungsbrücken to Finkenwerder on ferry line 62 or Teufelsbrück to Finkenwerder on line 64) to reach the Symposium.
- If you plan arrive by car, please be aware that traffic on highway 7 to cross the Elbe river can be very unpredictable. You can park your car at the ZAL parking garage at Hein-Saß-Weg 23.
- The social event will take place at Rickmer Rickmers at Landungsbrücken, Ponton 1a.
