ISPRS Scientific Initiatives 2023
In accordance with the statutory mission and activities of ISPRS, the Society shall provide funds to support scientific and other initiatives, which will further improve its international status in the field of the photogrammetry, remote sensing and spatial information sciences, and will therefore benefit all ISPRS members. For 2023, the ISPRS Council is making up to 70,000 Swiss francs (CHF) available to support new scientific initiatives. The maximum funding assigned to any one scientific project shall be CHF 10,000 per annum. Projects should commence on January 1, 2023 and typically last up to 12 months. In exceptional cases, applications for projects lasting up to 24 months will be considered. Projects of greater than one-year duration will be subject to annual review before subsequent funding will be released.
