President’s Message

Dear colleagues,

I wish to draw your attention to the younger ISPRS generation, the ISPRS Student Consortium (SC), and the ISPRS future with young professionals.

The Student Consortium was officially established in 2004 during the XX ISPRS Congress, thanks to the Congress Director, Orhan Altan. However, the idea crystalised among young participants during the ISPRS Technical Commission V Mid-Term Symposium in Greece in 2002.

The Student Consortium is a legally independent organisation with its own Statutes, web site and newsletter, called Spectrum. Its activities are focused not only on bringing young scientists together, but its Board members help to organise summer schools held in various countries, the first of which took place in Istanbul in 2005. SC holds a General Assembly during ISPRS Congresses, where it also organises a Youth Forum, and conducts scientific sessions, with their own scientific program, where young scientists present papers reviewed by SC. SC Board members are very active in presenting webinars and also assist ISPRS technically with webinars. A summary of the 2002 – 2012 period can be found here.

The present Board boasts a long list of activities. Besides organising summer schools, it has established a new internal structure – Student Chapters, which now exist in several countries. SC promotes itself at important ISPRS events and also provides ISPRS Council new ideas on how to improve ISPRS activities with respect to young scientists.

My memory goes back to Cemal Özgür Kıvılcım, who played an irreplaceable role at SC’s commencement and was a very good friend and scientist. Our first meeting with him was during the Congress in Istanbul. Unfortunately, we will never meet again since he passed away on 13 May 2024.

On behalf of the ISPRS Council, I thank all active and former Student Consortium members for their dedication.

Historical Council Meeting Minutes on the ISPRS Web

Larry Fritz, former ISPRS President (1996-2000) recently acknowledged that his personal archive of ISPRS Council and Joint Meeting Minutes (1980-2006) have now been digitised and are available on the ISPRS website https://www.isprs.org/documents/minutes.aspx.

Larry Fritz, a former ISPRS President (1996-2000), recently acknowledged that his personal archive of ISPRS Council and Joint Meeting Minutes (1980-2006) has now been digitised and is available on the ISPRS website at https://www.isprs.org/documents/minutes.aspx.
In the following citation, Larry expressed his pleasure at the publication:

“I've reviewed the Council Minutes on the ISPRS website and am pleased. They, along with Archive (Volume) A's should be of help (a resource) for future Council Members to recognize the issues and magnitude of tasks to be addressed, and to serve as an historical summary of past decisions and the discussions (debates) leading up to them. I often reflect on the blessings ISPRS has had in its choice of leadership throughout our history and how thankful we are for their significant voluntary efforts in promoting our sciences and technologies.”

In a communication to Past President Christian Heipke, Larry has also offered to ship his personal library to ISPRS Headquarters in Hannover, at his own expense, to complement the ISPRS repository, which was moved to the Technical Information Library (TIB) at Leibniz Universität Hannover in 2014.

“I see that ISPRS … has retained TIB Leibniz Library to digitize and make accessible most of ISPRS publications. This is a very useful resource, especially in the near future as AI matures. I offer (my) publications that may be included to complete some gaps in the historical record.”

Many thanks, Larry, for your past and ongoing dedication to ISPRS!
