Our Mission

The main purpose of the WG VI/5 is stimulation to scientific and research work, and promotion of the ISPRS profession to graduate, post-graduate students and young researchers. Furthermore, it presents the main link between the students from different countries and ISPRS. WG VI/5 offers support to the student coordinators of the Student Consortium, which acts within the framework of the WG VI/5. The Student Consortium presents the main student group, who share the same interest in photogrammetry, remote sensing and spatial information sciences, and has been established in the framework of the ISPRS TC VI in 2004.

Student Consortium
The ISPRS Student Consortium has been established in ISPRS Congress 2004 in Istanbul under ISPRS Commission VI "Education and Outreach". The Statute of the ISPRS Student Consortium was accepted by the ISPRS Student Consortium General Assembly during the XXI ISPRS Congress 2008 in Bejing. All the advanced diploma students and young researchers doing their Master or PhD studies in ISPRS field can join the SC. It provides a platform for exchange of information and organise student-specific events either independently (e.g. summer schools) or within larger ISPRS events. The Student Consortium is an important connection between students and ISPRS professional activities, way to get students familiar with and interested in ISPRS activities.
