ConfTool - software for paper and registration management free of charge for ISPRS events
One of the important targets of ISPRS is to permanently improve quality of the science results presented at any ISPRS events. ISPRS proceedings are the main scientific result of these meetings.
For many ISPRS events, the paper management system ConfTool has been successfully employed in recent the past. Examples include big events such as the 2016 Prague Congress, but also small meetings with only a few dozen papers. ConfTool can be set up to handle all requirements of the reviewing process both for The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences and the ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences.
In order to harmonize the submission and reviewing system for all participants of the events Council decided to recommend ConfTool to all organisers of ISPRS events and to cover the expenses for this tool. Note that ISPRS events are events where ISPRS is the main organiser, for events co-sponsored by ISPRS this offer is not valid. For more information about the approval of ISPRS events, please contact ISPRS Secretary General at isprs-sg@isprs.org. For more information about the reimbursement and its policy, please contact ISPRS Treasurer at isprs-tr@isprs.org.
Details of ConfTool can be found at https://www.conftool.net/en/index.html. There are two types of service options: VSIS ConfTool for small events (less than 150 participants) and ConfTool Pro for events with more than 150 participants.
