The sixth Computer Assisted Teaching CONtest (CATCON) will be organized on Thursday 30 August by the ISPRS Technical Commission VI Working group 2.

The main objective of the contest is to promote the development and dissemination of effective, educational and user-friendly multimedia tutorials, simulations and virtual environments, information packages or data sets and application software for computer assisted teaching in photogrammetry, remote sensing or spatial information science.

All registrants at the ISPRS Congress may nominate a software system or a data set for the contest. In principle, all tutorials, software or data sets nominated for CATCON should be non-commercial and should be provided to users without license charges for not-for-profit use. Contestants are required to provide their own notebook computer to demonstrate the software or data set. Each participant will be allocated five minutes for a brief presentation, followed by approximately two hours for demonstrations to attendees.

The Gold Award, Silver Award, and Bronze Award will be presented to the winners at the Closing Ceremony.

The CATCON Awards are supported by The ISPRS Foundation.
