Abstract
Abstract. This paper reports a history and future prospects of the activities by Asian students and young scientists on photogrammetry and remote sensing. For future growths of academic fields, active communications among students and young scientists are indispensable. In some countries and regions in Asia, local communities are already established by youths and playing important roles of building networks among various schools and institutes. The networks are expected to evolve innovative cooperations after the youths achieve their professions. Although local communities are getting solid growth, Asian youths had had little opportunities to make contacts with youths of other countries and regions. To promote youth activities among Asian regions, in 2007, Asian Association on Remote Sensing (AARS) started a series of programs involving students and young scientists within the annual conferences, the Asian Conference on Remote Sensing (ACRS). The programs have provided opportunities and motivations to create networks among students and young scientists. As a result of the achievements, the number of youth interested and involved in the programs is on growing. In addition, through the events held in Asian region by ISPRS Student Consortium (ISPRSSC) and WG VI/5, the Asian youths have built friendly partnership with ISPRSSC. Currently, many Asian youth are keeping contacts with ACRS friends via internet even when they are away from ACRS. To keep and expand the network, they are planning to establish an Asian youth organization on remote sensing. This paper describes about the proposals and future prospects on the Asian youth organization.

The history of Asian student activities of photogrammetry and remote sensing was started with a series of programs in Asian Conference on Remote Sensing (ACRS), an annual conference of remote sensing held in Asia
Summary
In a long history of photogrammetry and remote sensing, many students learned the technologies and applications. They have deployed knowledge learned at their school to industries and government following to their graduations from schools. Owing to even accessibility of students to the Internet, students can maintain their relationships with foreign students who have shared interests and knowledge at international conferences They can keep contacts using permanent e-mail address and social networking services (SNS). Such opportunities of students have chances to be grown into innovative contribution to the world when they take up practical positions in society. We review existing student’s activities n academic fields, describe a history of student’s activities of AARS and conclude with proposals and future prospects of AARS Student Group
