ISPRS Centenary

On 4th July 1910 the International Society of Photogrammetry, now the International Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS) was founded in Vienna on the initiative of Prof. Eduard Doležal. The Society's centenary will be celebrated on 4th July 2010 at its origin, the Vienna University of Technology. The festivities include an extraordinary General As­sembly, an Afternoon Celebration, and a Gala Dinner.  

The centenary celebrations are framed by the ISPRS Commission VII Symposium following the celebrations and before by the German-Austrian-Swiss conference for photogrammetry, remote sensing, and spatial information science.

The ISPRS is a non-governmental organisa­tion devoted to the development of inter­national cooperation for the advancement of knowledge, research, development education and training in photogramme­try, remote sensing and their applications, and to contribute to the well-being of hu­manity and the sustainability of the envi­ronment.

The Society's scientific interests include photogrammetry, remote sensing, spatial information and related disciplines, as well as applications in cartography, geodesy, surveying, natural, Earth and engineering sciences, and environmental monitoring and protection.
