ISPRS SC University of Lagos Student Chapter
ISPRS SC University of Lagos Student Chapter
The ISPRS SC University of Lagos Student Chapter supports students’ academic and professional development in photogrammetry, remote sensing, and spatial information science. Hosted by the Department of Surveying and Geoinformatics, University of Lagos, our chapter connects students, researchers, and professionals in these fields, fostering opportunities for networking, knowledge exchange, and collaborative research. With a strong foundation in one of Nigeria’s leading engineering institutions, the ISPRS SC UNILAG Chapter is committed to advancing research in Earth observation, geospatial analysis, environmental monitoring, and urban development. Our chapter provides a platform for students to gain hands-on experience, engage in interdisciplinary projects, and strengthen their professional skills.
Our objectives are to:
1) Build a vibrant community by organizing networking events, seminars, and hands on workshops.
2) Support professional growth through mentorship programs, technical training, student- led research projects, and skill-development activities.
3) Increase global participation by encouraging members to contribute to ISPRS SC initiatives, attend international conferences, and collaborate on innovative projects in geomatics and environmental science.
Key activities include training on photogrammetry and GIS software, drone mapping workshops, data analysis hackathons, and joint research with other ISPRS SC chapters.
We aim to bridge the gap between academia and industry, preparing our members to be leaders in the geospatial profession.
Through these efforts, the ISPRS SC UNILAG Chapter strives to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers to use spatial information technologies in addressing real-world challenges across Africa and beyond.
Fun facts about our student chapter:
Our chapter is not just about learning — we thrive on innovation and collaboration! We’ve organized the first-ever student-led remote sensing hackathon at Dhaka University, where participants tackled real-world environmental challenges. Our members have also contributed to local research projects and presented findings at local conferences. Plus, we love blending science with creativity — from geospatial mapping competitions to team-building field trips, we create a vibrant community where students explore, experiment, and excel.
