2.4 International engagements
At the ISPRS 2000 congress in Amsterdam, KTH was
represented by 3 persons (Torlegárd, Burman and Boberg).
Torlegärd was outgoing first vice president of ISPRS, Boberg
was Swedish representative at the General Assembly and
outgoing member of the Financial Commission.
In 2000 Torlegárd was outgoing Chairman of the OEEPE
Science Committee.
In 2002 an international symposium Photogrammetry meets
Geoinformatics was organized in Jónkóping in honor of prof
Torlegärd, led by Anders Boberg.
2.5 Other engagements
In 2001 prof Kennert Torlegärd and Anders Boberg were
elected honorary members of the Swedish Society for
Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing.
The department has been engaged in planning of measurements
on the warship Vasa, using geodetic methods as well as laser
scanning, to a limited extent also photogrammetry (Boberg,
Horemuz).
2.6 Events
In 2001 OEEPE organized a workshop at KTH on Airborne
Laser Scanning and Interferometric SAR for Detailed Digital
Elevation Models, led by prof Torlegärd.

3. UNIVERSITY OF GAVLE, PHOTOGRAMMETRY
AND REMOTE SENSING AT THE GEOMATICS
PROGRAMME
3.1 Organisation
The Geomatics Programme at the University of Gävle covers an
integration of topics like geodesy, photogrammetry, remote
sensing, cartography and geographical information technology.
The undergraduate programme at the university is a three-year
programme and leads to a Bachelor of Science in Geomatics
Engineering. This programme is also open for English spoken
exchange students, being at the same level at their home
University, wanting to spend a part of their studies abroad. In
Gävle we offer a full academic year in English. The
postgraduate programme is a two-year programme and requires
the undergraduate, or an equivalent, programme for admission.
The programme is primary meant to widen the vocational
abilities of the enrolled students and a completion leads to a
Degree of Master of Geomatics. This programme is fully open
for English spoken exchange students who fulfils the admission
