Students at the ISPRS Prague Congress

摘要

The next time you meet someone involved in the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS), ask them, "What was the first ISPRS Congress that you attended?". You are guaranteed to see their eyes light up and a smile cross their face, but be prepared to sit back and listen as stories unfold about an event that brings together geospatial experts from all eight ISPRS Technical Commissions. Just like the Olympics, ISPRS Congresses are held only once every four years in different parts of the world, including Vienna (1913), The Hague (1948), Washington, D.C. (1952), Lisbon (1964), Ottawa (1972), Rio de Janeiro (1984), Istanbul (2004), Beijing (2008) and Melbourne (2012), to name but a few. The XXIII Congress will be held from 12-19 July 2016 in Prague, Czech Republic. Students and young professionals of photogrammetry, remote sensing and spatial information systems should, as the expression goes, move heaven and earth to be there.
