The post-graduate and supplementary education have been 
offered at the HUT, at the TUT and at the University of Turku. 
In 1992 post-graduate seminars were held on "Statistical 
pattern recognition" and "Satellite image interpretation" at the 
HUT and the University of Turku respectively. Seminars in the 
year 1993 were held at the HUT and at the TUT under 
following topics: "National researcher seminar of surveying 
and mapping technology" and "The quality of mapping 
measurements”. In 1994 a post-graduate seminar concerning 
remote sensing was held at the University of Joensuu. In 1995 
there was not any specific supplementary education in the field 
of photogrammetry and remote sensing at the university level.
