After Beijing 2008 and Melbourne 2012, the Congress of the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing returns to Europe to its geographical centre, the city of Prague. Geomatics professionals have the best opportunity to join the leading companies in the field at the Congress exhibition and reserve an exhibition area now.

The submission for papers to the ISPRS Congress in Prague July 2016 is open and the call for papers is launched. All interested authors are invited to submit either an abstract until 13 December or a full paper for double blind peer review until 30 November. Various best author awards will be given to best authors of papers and posters.

Congress Proceedings are listed in the ISI Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI) of the Web of Science, SCOPUS and DOAJ.

The call for papers for the newly established National Mapping Forum is in progress. Authors from Mapping and/or Cadastral Agencies are encouraged to submit papers. ISPRS with the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) will organise the first ISPRS-IAA Space Agency Forum during the Congress. Authors from Space Agencies are encouraged to submit papers.

Education
A Computer Assisted Teaching CONtest (CATCON) will be organised. The main objective of CATCON is to promote the development and dissemination of effective, educational and user-friendly multimedia tutorial, simulations and virtual environments, information packages, etc.

Young scientists will have their own programme: the scientific at the Youth Forum and the social before the Forum.

ISPRS will organise a Summer School before the Congress. Participants of the Summer School have to present an accepted paper at the Congress.
