It is the oldest and largest international higher education institute in the Netherlands, and seeks to promote the sound application of geo-information technology through programmes of research, education and project services. Mission of ITC ITC is an internationally recognized centre of excellence aiming at capacity building and institutional development specifically in countries that are economically and/or technologically less developed. Staff ITC has an international staff of about 275 from about 27 different countries of whom about 165 are scientific and professional specialists in the field of geo-information science and earth observation.
