2024 ISPRS Educational and Capacity Initiatives

ISPRS ICWG III/IVa Disaster Working Group is delighted to announce that our proposal titled “Empowering Education and Capacity Building with a Focus on Natural Disasters through GeoAI and Computer Vision” has been approved by the ISPRS Council. The initiative will be generously funded with CHF 10,000.

The proposed project aims to advance ISPRS's educational and capacity-building goals by focusing on integrating cutting-edge technologies in photogrammetry, GeoAI, digital twinning, digital infrastructure, remote sensing, and spatial information sciences. This initiative seeks to empower ISPRS members with the latest knowledge and skills through targeted funding, enhancing their proficiency and expertise in these critical areas and connecting academics, private sectors, and governments. By fostering a culture of continuous learning and innovation, the project will elevate ISPRS's international standing in education and training and directly benefit all members of the Society.

 We are grateful for this support and look forward to advancing our project to enhance education and build capacities in the realm of natural disasters using cutting-edge GeoAI and computer vision technologies.
