The International Society of Participatory Mapping (ISPM) is an association of like-minded scholars, practitioners, and activists who are invested in the integrity and accuracy of participatory mapping and data collection, as well as, the equitable distribution of knowledge between the global socio-economic divides. To ensure that geospatial data, tools, and knowledge remain free and open to marginalized communities, ISPM members commit their dues to educational and intercultural events that bridge the technological literacy gap and provide travel and research grants to practitioners and scholars from underrepresented communities across the the globe.
