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.

TIF is a non-profit entity established in 2003 and managed by a Board of Trustees responding to ISPRS grant needs that are identified by the ISPRS Council. The ISPRS Foundation depends on individual donations and contributions from ISPRS and ISPRS-sponsored events. Donations
to the non-profit TIF may be mailed directly to the TIF Finance Officer, Jeff Yates 13641 Capstan Drive, Anchorage, Alaska 99516, USA. E-mail: jyates@datem.com or via the TIF PayPal donation link on the TIF website:
