MOTIVATE Learning: Making Opportunities to Initiate Valuable Alliance through Experiential Learning

The ISPRS Student Consortium (ISPRS SC), in collaboration with the Geo-informatics and Space Technology Development Agency (GISTDA), Thailand’s public organization leading the country’s activities in space technology and geo-informatics applications and ASEAN Research and Training Center for Space Technology and Applications (ARTSA), is proud to announce MOTIVATE Learning: Making Opportunities to Initiate Valuable Alliance through Experiential Learning– a project that aims to build the capabilities of students and young professionals in the fields of remote sensing, photogrammetry and spatial information sciences.

MOTIVATE Learning is comprised of two programs: (1) ISPRS SC Summer School + Hackathon and (2) The Spatial Exchange Program. The ISPRS SC Summer School follows the conventional design of the summer schools, with the addition of the 2-day hackathon as a challenging activity after the lectures, practical sessions and break-out sessions, which aims to encourage participants to conceptualize ideas and create applications that can address real world problems. The Spatial Exchange Program is an 8-day exchange program for students and young professionals, in which the participants will be guided by a visiting researcher and will be hosted in Space Krenovation Park, GISTDA at Chon Buri, Thailand.

Registration deadlines:

June 30, 2018 for international applicants who require VISA to enter Thailand
