We have now entered the run-up to the twenty-first ISPRS Congress and Council and the Technical Commission presidents are all working to make this congress a great success. What might one expect to find here, in the light of activity since the Istanbul congress? What should we be heading for in the aftermath of Beijing?rnYoung PeoplernFor most people the ISPRS Commission symposia and workshops have been the most important events of the past three years. They have covered a lot of ground and given participants a good oversight of developments in science and technology. I will not attempt to review these developments; this is something to look forward to in Beijing! But I can say that new technology has had a big impact on photogrammetry and remote sensing, and the increased use of digital cameras, laser scanning and SAR have dominated many of the discussions.
