GRSS & ISPRS

About The Event

The IEEE GRSS Young Professionals (YP) & ISPRS Student Consortium Summer School are events organized jointly in Brazil and supported by the two main international organizations in the field of remote sensing:

• IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society: is a non-profit society and its area of interest is the theory, concepts and scientific and engineering techniques applied to Remote Sensing of Earth, ocean, atmosphere and space. In addition, it is interested in the processing, interpretation and dissemination of this spatial information.

• International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing:is a non-governmental organization that aims to develop international cooperation for the advancement of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing and its applications.

The IEEE GRSS-YP and the ISPRS-SS traditionally occur abroad annually and have as main feature the integration of students and researchers in the area of remote sensing at the regional level. In other words, the regional sections and chapters of the IEEE / GRSS and ISPRS are responsible for organizing the events in their respective countries independently.

In Brazil, the joint event has been organized since 2015 on a yearly basis at the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR) in the city of Curitiba (Paraná). The event shifted to Presidente Prudente in 2016 (Sao Paulo), Lages in 2017 (Santa Catarina), Campo Grande in 2018 (Mato Grosso do Sul), Sorocaba in 2019 (Sao Paulo) and Belo Horizonte in 2020 (Minas Gerais).
