Associations, Federations and Special Interest Groups

Aware of the importance of international cooperation for the advancement of science, INSTICC works closely together with several other national and international associations and is proud to welcome them as partners in its activities or to arrange initiatives in cooperation with them.

While several forms of partnership are welcome, INSTICC places special value in "Technical Co-Sponsorships", by means of which both associations support each other from a scientific perspective for their mutual benefit. Additionally, in this case, members of partner organizations benefit from the same registration conditions as INSTICC members.

Current Institutional Partners:

Workflow Management Coalition

Founded in 1993, the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC) is a global organization of adopters, developers, consultants, analysts, as well as university and research groups engaged in workflow and BPM. The WfMC creates and contributes to process related standards, educates the market on related issues, and is the only standards organization that concentrates purely on process. The WfMC created Wf-XML and XPDL, the leading process definition language used today in over 80 known solutions to store and exchange process models. XPDL is a process design format for storing the visual diagram and all design time attributes.

International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing

ISPRS, www.isprs.org, is an international non-governmental organization that promotes international cooperation between the worldwide organizations with interests in the photogrammetry, remote sensing and spatial information sciences. Established in 1910, ISPRS is the oldest international umbrella organization in its field, which may be summarized as addressing “information from imagery”.
ISPRS achieves its aims by:
-   Advancing knowledge in the areas of interest of ISPRS by encouraging and facilitating research and development, scientific networking and inter-disciplinary activities
-   Facilitating education and training with particular emphasis in less developed countries
-   Promoting public recognition of the contributions of the photogrammetry, remote sensing and spatial information sciences for the benefit of humankind and the sustainability of the environment
The ISPRS scientific and technical programs are organized by eight Technical Commissions. Each Commission is sponsored by an ISPRS Member organization for the four-year period between Congresses. The eight Technical Commissions have established more than 60 Working Groups which are responsible for particular topics within the Commissions’ areas of responsibility. All Technical Commissions hold a Symposium within their country in 2014. Smaller workshops will be organized by the Working Groups before the 2016 Congress in Prague.

European Association of Geographers (EUROGEO)

The principal aims of EUROGEO are to advance the status of geography by:
- organising events and activities for members
- producing publications for members
- supporting geographers in their jobs and careers
- identifying and promoting good practise
- lobbying at European and national level
- giving advice on geography
- making recommendations to decision makers
EUROGEO promotes the European dimension in geographical education as a contribution towards the development of European citizenship. By doing so, EUROGEO encourages the development of a greater European awareness through the medium of geography and increases mutual knowledge and understanding of Europe.

French Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing

Created in 1959, the French Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing is a scientific society administered as a not-for-profit organisation.
Its goal is to promote the advancement of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing as well in a scientific way as an industrial way, according to the different application fields of both disciplines. The society is also interested in the development of all equipment and methods which could lead to a better knowledge of the earth surface.
The different SFPT missions are : to promote all techniques related to Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, to encourage research in these fields, to develop relations with other national and international societies (mainly with ISPRS), to keep contact with universities, public departments and private companies.
Different means are used by the society : they especially consist in publishing a journal ("Revue de la SFPT") and organising scientific conferences. The SFPT journal mainly publishes papers reviewed by a scientific committee but also news about the scientific life in the society fields of interest (press and books review, scientific events calendar, ...).
SFPT is composed of support members, honorary members and ordinary members
SFPT shall host ISPRS Congress in Nice in 2020.

Group on Earth Observations

Established in 2005, GEO is a voluntary partnership of governments and organizations that envisions “a future wherein decisions and actions for the benefit of humankind are informed by coordinated, comprehensive and sustained Earth observations and information.” GEO Member governments include 102 nations and the European Commission, and 103 Participating Organizations comprised of international bodies with a mandate in Earth observations. Together, the GEO community is creating a Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) that will link Earth observation resources world-wide across multiple Societal Benefit Areas - Biodiversity and Ecosystem Sustainability, Disaster Resilience, Energy and Mineral Resources Management, Food Security and Sustainable Agriculture, Infrastructure & Transportation Management, Public Health Surveillance, Sustainable Urban Development, Water Resources Management - and make those resources available for better informed decision-making.

Spanish Society of Cartography, Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (SECFT)

The Spanish Society of Cartography, Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (SECFT) is currently an ASSOCIATION under the Organic Law 1/2002, dated 22nd of March, and its complementary regulations, with legal status and full capacity to act, and is not for profit.
At its creation, the two existing international societies in the field were taken into account --the International Cartographic Association (ICA) and the International Society of Photometry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS) --both of which it represents in Spain. It was wisely decided that the society’s designation should precisely reflect the names of both these organisations to cover, at a national level, their international scope of action.
