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.
