ISPRS WG IV/1, WG V/5, Student Consortium Summer School, Poland

It is our great pleasure to invite students and young researchers to attend the ISPRS Summer School at Wroclaw University of Science and Technology in Poland. The event will be organised jointly by Wroclaw University of Science and Technology , Forest Research Institute and ISPRS, in particular by two ISPRS working groups IV/1 and V/5 with support of Student Consortium.

During the ISPRS Summer School young researchers will be able to extend their knowledge in the field of geospatial technologies and learn about advancements in the field of natural environment management and monitoring. Workshops and educational trips will be focused on environmental issues related to industrial activities, such as mining, as well as forestry and preservation of natural resources. It is a great place to discuss their work and ideas. It is also an excellent opportunity to meet people from all over the world, who share a passion for research.

The summer school will take place on August 26-30th 2019.

Sona Guliyeva (Azerbaijan) – Board Member

Sona Guliyeva has a Master of Science in Environmental Engineering from the National Aviation Academy of Azerbaijan, with a focus in Aerospace Monitoring. She is currently pursuing her doctorate in the field of Remote Aerospace Studies from the same academy. Sona is very passionate about photogrammetry, remote sensing and spatial information science. With her country’s continued efforts on the developments and applications of space technology, she believes that her engagement in the ISPRS SC will help in increasing awareness about remote sensing, further educating the youth in the profession and in supporting the scientific community.

Many thanks again to all the applicants! We are hoping for your continued support and engagement with the ISPRS SC!

ISPRS Geospatial Week 2019, Enschede-The Netherlands

The ISPRS Geospatial Week (GSW) is a combination of workshops organised by about 30 ISPRS Working Groups active in areas of interest of ISPRS. It is convened by the University of Twente acting as local organiser, and led by George Vosselman as GSW Director.
The ISPRS Geospatial Week is held biennially in odd years. The GSW 2019 is the fourth edition, after Antalya 2013, Montpellier 2015 and Wuhan 2017.

The ISPRS Geospatial Week’s general goals are to:

• increase the possibility of communication between the different workshop communities within ISPRS and beyond;
• increase the continuous visibility of ISPRS on a yearly basis, together with the Congress and the Commission Symposia, thus leading to larger impact for ISPRS activities;
• gives Sustaining Members a more attractive opportunity to participate in ISPRS events.

The fourth edition of the GSW will take place from 10-14 June 2019 at University of Twente, Eschede, The Netherlands.

The ISPRS Geospatial Week 2019 will host several workshops among them;

• C3M&GBD – Collaborative Crowdsourced Cloud Mapping and Geospatial Big Data
  
• CHCGS – Cryosphere and Hydrosphere for Global Change Studies
  
• EuroCow-M3DMaN – Joint European Calibration and Orientation Workshop and Workshop on Multi-sensor systems for 3D Mapping and Navigation
• HyperMLPA – Hyperspectral Sensing meets Machine Learning and Pattern Analysis
• Indoor3D

And many others. For more information on submission of abstracts, travel grants and deadlines visit: https://www.gsw2019.org/

ISPRS Kampala Summer School
