TIF Receives Outstanding Donation from Prof. Li Deren
The ISPRS Foundation (TIF) is pleased to announce that our good friend and colleague, Prof. Li Deren made a significant donation to the ISPRS Foundation. Such a donation is unique since it does not come from an institution but it is a personal gesture of Prof. Li Deren to assist young students in pursuing their careers in the areas of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing.
ISPRS and TIF are very grateful for this outstanding generous contribution.

TIF Activities 2024 – Travel Grants to Midterm Symposia
2024 has been the year of Mid-term Symposia for the ISPRS Technical Commissions. ISPRS and The ISPRS Foundation (TIF) granted 30 Travel Grants to students and young professionals from developing countries to attend the ISPRS Midterm Symposia for all five Technical Commissions. The early career scientists and practitioners travelled from over 12 countries to attend Symposia in Changsha, China (TC-I) – reports can be found in the June eBulletin, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA (TC-II), Belém, Brazil (TC-III), Fremantle, Australia (TC-IV) and Manila, Philippines (TC-V). Totalling approximately 39,500 USD, the ISPRS-TIF Travel Grants brought individuals from different continents, excluding Antarctica, to the foremost event of the 4-year term of each Technical Commission. Grant recipients were active participants in the Symposia, presenting posters and oral presentations, publishing in the ISPRS Archives and Annals, and joining both technical discussions and cultural exchanges. Although their experiences may sometimes lead to academic and professional opportunities, they always lead to new friendships and exposure to the latest research and advancements in geospatial sciences.
