The International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS) is an academic organization dedicated to promoting the development, application, and exchange of international photogrammetry, remote sensing, and spatial information technology. It was established in 1910 and has members from nearly 200 countries and regions. ISPRS is known for its long history of academic activities, well-established organization structure, wide participation, significant influence, and high visibility. The ISPRS Geospatial Week (GSW) is one of the most important academic events organized by ISPRS, held every two years, featuring around 60 working groups organizing academic conferences on various themes.

GSW’2023 was held in Cairo, Egypt from September 2nd to 7th, 2023, under the theme “Remote Sensing For Better Future”. It included 29 special sessions and dozens of technology exhibitions, with more than one thousand participants. The conference was hosted by the Arab Academy for Science, Technology, and Maritime Transport and received great support from the Arab League and the Egyptian government. During the conference, the ISPRS Executive Committee held meetings to discuss the organization’s key work plans.
