Forum track 2022
A specific track will address the interactions between science, public organizations, industry and decision-makers on hot topics of the geospatial community. Six fora are scheduled during the Congress. Each forum will be a discussion meeting at the interface between science and society on topics for which the photogrammetry and remote sensing community (ISPRS) can inspire political and industrial decision making. The forum is not the main place to present scientific innovations (which is the scope of the technical sessions organized by the ISPRS commissions) but it is the good place to address the impact of innovations and the role our community could play in this changing context for « building a better future together » by providing collective visions and/or roadmaps. Global mapping and resource or climate change monitoring, smart cities, autonomous navigation, digital globes and geo-platforms, spatial data infrastructures, open science/source/data, cultural heritage etc. will be the subject of intense and inspiring presentations and panel discussions mixing experts from various levels and communities. Each forum will lead to a written synthesis of the views and recommendations of the ISPRS community concerning the respective topics. The output documents will be collected and organized by the International Policy Advisory Committee (IPAC) to help ISPRS to fully play its role as a scientific society in a complex world by providing roadmaps for the next term.
