The ISAC has been established to support the Council and the ISPRS General Assembly in identifying and addressing important science and technology (S&T) trends which impact the scope of the ISPRS Commissions and the activities which should be addressed by ISPRS Working Groups.
In general, ISAC members are appointed as of January 1 following a Congress year and they serve a full term, i.e., until December 31 of the next Congress year. However, necessary changes of members are possible with the approval of the President. Membership is renewable but no person may serve more than three Congress Terms. No two members of ISAC shall be affiliated with the same institution. Members of Council and TCPs shall not be ISAC members.
The ISAC is to ensure that ISPRS S&T activities are in proper balance and cover the breadth of the Society's S&T mission.
