Introduction to the theme

New Space and commercialization in EO play an important role in national and global space programs. Start-up companies deliver precise and customized missions and services, which are not covered by the large national and international programs. However they are required by these programs to fill gaps in observation capabilities and services. Further on, New Space companies have the flexibility and vision to open new opportunities of EO and GIS applications in traditional as well as in new domains. The current growth in New Space capabilities show the importance of these companies in the development of the entire Earth Observation domain, if not the entire space and GIS sector.

Academic Track of FOSS4G (Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial) 2023

26 Jun - 02 Jul 2023
Prizren, Kosovo

Themes of Event
The FOSS4G Academic Track is by nature cross-sectoral and cross-domain, since the primary focus is on the type of software (free and open source, in contrast to proprietary) rather than on a specific field or discipline. All research themes within the broader domains of geographic information science, remote sensing and photogrammetry are in scope of the FOSS4G Academic Track call for papers, which makes this event fully in scope of ISPRS. However, these topics are addressed from a completely different angle – the free and open source dimension of the software used. Thus, while happening only two months before the ISPRS Geospatial Week 2023, FOSS4G 2023 would in no way be a competitor (even more, the different perspective makes it an independent and complementary event). Also, although both FOSS4G 2023 and the ISPRS Geospatial Week 2023 will be global events, their geographical locations are located in two different continents and are quite far away from each other; this would help ensure that the academic communities attending them will be quite different.
In addition, our ISPRS Intercommission Working Group IV/III/II is planning to organise a session also at the ISPRS Geospatial Week 2023. It should be noted that many officers of other ISPRS WGs (including under TC IV) are active users of free and open source software and are expected to participate in the event. In this regard, preliminary support was gathered from other WGs under TC IV such as WG IV/1 and WG IV/6.
