Welcome to the ISPRS Student Consortium!

The International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing Student Consortium (ISPRS SC) is the official representation of the students and the youth to ISPRS.

The main purpose of the ISPRS SC is to link students, young researchers and professionals in different countries, who are interested in photogrammetry, remote sensing and spatial information sciences. ISPRS SC also aims to provide a platform for exchange of information and to organize student-specific events and other activities that integrate students and the youth more effectively into ISPRS activities.

ISPRS Education and Capacity Building Initiatives

The ISPRS SC is taking part in the ISPRS Education and Capacity Building Initiatives this year, together with principal investigators from Technical Commissions IV and V for the project entitled, "Capacity Building for GIS-based SDG Indicator Analysis with Global High-resolution Land Cover Datasets." The purpose of the questionnaire is to investigate general awareness on geospatial information and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as well as training requirements and needs on these topics.

We invite you to participate in our survey: https://forms.office.com/r/zswC9NhNYK. Please feel free to share this with your friends and colleagues! We look forward to your responses!
