Faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation at the University of Twente
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.
