The international photogrammetry and remote sensing community will gather in Perth in October 2024 for the mid-term symposium of the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS) Technical Commission IV: Spatial Information Science.
The ISPRS is a non-governmental organisation devoted to the development of international cooperation for the advancement of photogrammetry and remote sensing and their applications.
The Geospatial Council of Australia is the Australian member of ISPRS, with Australia’s Professor Sisi Zlatanova appointed Chair of ISPRS Technical Commission IV.
The symposium will provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to come together and share their work and ideas, discuss opportunities and challenges, exchange developments or software tools, and discuss future directions.

![3rd International Workshop on Geographic Modelling and Simulation @ Nanjing, china](https://www.spatialsource.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Nanjing.png?w=218)
The complexities of understanding and forecasting evolutionary processes necessitate geographic modelling and simulation, which have emerged as potent tools for addressing critical issues such as climate change and sustainable resource use. But there is a pressing need for an open geographical modelling and simulation framework. Such a framework would serve as a catalyst, attracting more scholars and encouraging their collective efforts to address geographic challenges.
This workshop is designed to explore pertinent theories, approaches and potential applications, while fostering communication among experts from diverse domains. Its primary objectives include stimulating extensive discussions regarding the potential directions of the field and promoting further research, thus paving the way for a promising future in collaborative geographic modelling and simulation.
