Dear Colleagues and Friends,
On behalf of the French Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (SFPT), it will be my great pleasure to host you for the XXIVth ISPRS Congress in my home town of Nice from the 14th to the 20th of June 2020. Nice, the cosmopolitan and multicultural capital of the French Riviera, is the ideal place to host an unforgettable ISPRS Congress. Nice is an outstanding location between sea and mountains where culture and heritage meet with the cutting edge technology of Sophia Antipolis, the French Silicon Valley.
This 2020 congress will host over 3000 participants with leading specialists and technologists, engineers, researchers and students in the field of photogrammetry, remote sensing, and spatial information sciences coming from universities, research foundations, space agencies, mapping and cadaster agencies, public organisations and private companies, and end-users.
The rich program will include more than 2000 oral and poster scientific presentations, exciting keynote speeches, a geospatial prospective forum, an innovation forum, and an industry forum. All these events will enable participants to remain at the state-of-the-art on the currents trends in science, technology and business. Take this opportunity to meet and network with a very large number of experts, and to cross-fertilize with colleagues coming from neighbouring fields!
All the ISPRS 2020 team is looking forward to meet you in Nice.
Warmest regards,
Nicolas Paparoditis – Congress Director
