RSPSoc Annual Student Meeting, 10-11th March 2008
This year’s RSPSoc Annual Student Meeting takes place in the beautiful New Forest at the Foxlease Activity Centre (Lyndhurst) not far from Southampton, 10-11th March 2008. The Centre can be easily reached both via rail (direct links from London Waterloo to Brockenhurst within 1hr 40min) and via air (Southampton airport and Bournemouth airport).
The cost of £38 per person (including 1 night shared accommodation, transport to and from Ordnance Survey, outdoor activity, all food, and proceedings) has been kept very low thanks to the event’s sponsors (Leica Geosystems, Geotechnologies, Intergraph, Blackwell Publishing, Taylor and Francis, Infoterra, BAE Systems, Topcon, English Heritage, Ordnance Survey, EDINA, and ITT).
This is an ideal opportunity for you to present your research within all sectors of remote sensing and photogrammetry (including GIS) in a constructive and informal atmosphere, to get to know new people and learn about their projects.
Abstract submission (max. 250 words for both oral and poster presentation) is still open until Friday the 18th of January 2008. Please submit to ASM08@mkthomson.net and state in your email if you intend to give a poster or oral presentation. If you do not wish to present your work, feel free to register anyway and attend for a bit of fun and networking. Registration is open until Monday the 28th of January 2008.
Places are limited, so don’t miss out on…
Highlights:
*A visit to Ordnance Survey’s Photogrammetric Services Department and Research Labs.
