ITC is the University of Twente’s Faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation.

Our mission is to develop capacity, particularly in less developed countries, and to utilize geospatial solutions to deal with national and global problems.

Our vision is that spatial solutions will play an increasingly important role in meeting many of mankind’s complex challenges (often wicked problems), such as climate change, population growth, and related claims for sufficient and secure food, water, energy, health, land and housing provision.

Transparent World is a non-profit and non-governmental partnership. Using space images it implements programs and projects for the scientific and applied environmental researches, education, design, tourism and study of local lore.

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences (ISPRS Archives) is the series of peer-reviewed proceedings published by the International Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS). In the early years of the Society, Archive Volumes were published independent of Congress or Technical Commission Symposia.

We initiate, design and operate ESG Data Intermediation Services …

… WITH THREE OWN PURPOSE-DRIVEN INITIATIVES IN 2022:

1. “Food Hinterland System” and its nucleus of the distributed Digital Product Passport (dDPP) for food value chains
2. “Fair Work” and its enforcement policy innovation
3.  Ontochain’s Babelfish project implementation

Our concepts and services are synergetic with the swelling data-driven ESG policy stream and reflect existing, grown but sometimes transforming multi-level governance constellations.
