摘要：Indian Institute of Remote Sensing (IIRS) is a premier institute in Asia Pacific region in the field of Capacity Building for Earth Observation Application and Geo-information Science. Since, its establishment as IPI in 1966, to share and upgrade the knowledge, IIRS has collaborated actively with international partners like ITC, IHE, WUR, The Netherlands, ITTO/JOFCA, WMO, UNFAO, UNESCO, ADPC, GDTA and JRC (EC) etc. The institute also hosts an UN affiliated regional Centre i.e. Centre for Space Science and Technology Education in Asia and the Pacific (CSSTEAP) and conducts Postgraduate (PG) and short courses in Remote Sensing and GIS for the UN Centre yearly basis. IIRS has been conducting short and long duration training programmes regularly for user organizations, mainly government sponsored professionals since its inception. However the major paradigm shift took place with initiation of Cross Boarder International Joint Education Programs (JEP) in 2002, thus helping Indian students to study an International Masters Programs in Earth Observation and Geo-information Science with specializations of Geo-informatics and Geo-hazards which otherwise will be difficult for them to obtain it without going abroad. Apart from financial aspects, the total costs for student being less, the JEP has specifically benefitted for upgradation of PG programs, follow international syllabus and provide a window for IIRS faculty & students to postgraduate research and evaluation international standards
