XXII
nd ISPRS Congress:
25 August - 1 September 2012, Melbourne, AUSTRALIA
‘Working together to achieve the best use of Earth Observation data’
Melbourne, Aug 28, 2012
To celebrate the 50th Anniversary of ISRSE
Organised by ISPRS, ICRSE, IAA
There are a number of fora now for bringing together different sectors of the space
industry, these include GEO, CEOS, GGIM and meetings organised by different Societies
and companies. ISPRS has a particular interest in bringing together space agencies and
commercial satellite operators, together with non commercial users, such as environment
agencies and academic researchers to discuss issues such as funding environmental missions,
providing socio economic benefits and legal constraints. A one day Earth Observation Forum
will be held during the ISPRS Congress in Melbourne in August 2012 to commemorate the
symposia on 50th anniversary of the International Symposia on Remote Sensing of Environment.
Objectives
- Review the current status of international coordination of Earth Observation
- Explore constraints on collaboration
- Discuss legal issues concerning space law and EO satellite data
- Formulate a list of requirements for future collaboration
