ABOUT The Joint Aerospace & Electronics System Society and the Geoscience & Remote Sensing Society, IEEE INDONESIA SECTION.
The Joint Aerospace & Electronics System Society and the Geoscience & Remote Sensing Society were approved to be established in Indonesia by the IEEE in May 2013. This joint chapter becomes a platform for members interested in Aerospace & Electronics as well as Geoscience & Remote Sensing.
We held various technical meetings including symposiums, conferences, seminars, workshops, tutorials, and so forth. Within a year there are one or two major engineering meetings, two tutorials, member gatherings, and also member meetings for the election of the board. We also conduct international conferences independently or together with other chapters or with other national organizations such as the National Institute of Aeronautics & Space (LAPAN), the Agency For The Assessment And Application Of Technology (BPPT), the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) and also with Indonesian Universities: Institute Technology Bandung (ITB), Institute Technology Sepuluh November (ITS), and other national professional organization: Masyarakat dan ahli Penginderaan Jauh Indonesia (MAPIN) etc. The Two Conferences are AGERS Conferences and ICARES Conferences. For AGERS Conferences.
In 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022, we conduct five workshops, AGERS conferences, and one regional ChapNet Meeting. Five successful proceedings of AGERS conferences have been published in IEEE Xplore.
In 2023, we will organize the 2023 IEEE Asia-Pacific Geosciences, Electronics and Remote Sensing (AGERS – 2023) as a “Conference” under cooperation with the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), Masyarakat Penginderaan Jauh Indonesia (MAPIN) and Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember. Indonesia on November 14 - 15, 2023 in the City of Surabaya, Indonesia. This event becomes an important conference since the theme will be:"Global Challenges in Geoscience, Electronics, and Remote Sensing: Future Directions in City, Land, and Ocean Management."We hope that this event will be attended by geoscientists, Engineers, and Remote Sensing Experts around the world. Stay tuned Stay Healthy…and Look forward to your active participation in AGERS.
