ISPRS WG V/2
Promotion of International Collaborative Education Programs
Our Mission
ISPRS Working group V/2 aims to promote and develop cross-border educational services, knowledge dissemination and know how sharing.
To achieve this goal, the WG will
- promote the inventory & evaluation of potential joint National, Regional and International educational programs (JEPs);
- develop core curricula & educational modules, and highlight best practices for joint education programs;
- define what are Local, National and Regional stakeholders seem to find best to their interest for cooperation;
- continue its effort on nurturing the young generation by organizing student-specific events and other actions that integrate youth into ISPRS more effectively;
- disseminate new educational theories, methodologies and advanced technologies through new curricula designed by the Commission;
- deal with the needs of students and professionals (engineers, technicians etc.) that crave for some updates on new and modern up-to-date systems and processing techniques.
WG V/2 disseminates educational content, develops novel educational components of training and education in photogrammetry and remote sensing, organizes joint workshops, symposium and prepares recommendations.
