Description
|
This Dutch, independent,
non-profit foundation is funded by the Netherlands Ministry
of Education and Science. ITC's courses are designed to
facilitate a multidisciplinary approach to geo-informatics,
land resource surveys, urban sciences, and earth and water
resource surveys. Major emphasis is placed on remote sensing
(RS) and geographic information systems (GIS). The ITC
educational system is international and intended primarily
for mid-career professionals and scientists from "developing
countries." 90% of trainees to ITS come from developing
countries, mostly from outside university settings.
Throughout the ten-year program, every student has two
advisors: one from within ITC and one professor from a
university. The Ph.D. trajectories are relevant and
meaningful for their employer organizations, and therefore
contribute to "successful" employment.
