The Institute

The Institute of Geodesy and Photogrammetry is part of the Departement for Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering (D-BAUG) at ETH Zurich.

Our core competences are the science of geomatics, especially Geodetic Metrology and Engineering Geodesy, Satellite Geodesy, Physical Geodesy and Geodynamics, Photogrammetry, Image Analysis and Remote Sensing.

Our goal is to drive innovation in these disciplines in research and teaching to meet the needs for spatial data in regard to the current and future societal challenges. We develop methods and systems for recording, modeling, monitoring and analysis of spatial data, to support the sustainable development of our living space, our environment and resources. Our work is based on the integration of research and teaching, on cooperation with universities, public institutions and the private sector, as well as Bachelor's and Master's programs of the highest quality, in which competent engineers are trained.
