The Programme is a combined partnership of four different Universities.
GEM integrates academic excellence from four leading universities and their respective MSc programmes in geospatial science in a strategic partnership to support innovative academic practices. Each partner addresses different aspects of human-environment interaction challenges with applied geospatial science:
- Natural resources management at ITC-University of Twente, the Netherlands (ITC)
- Ecosystems and the environment at Lund University, Sweden (LU)
- Agriculture and forestry at Université catholique de Louvain, Belgium (UCLouvain)
- Socio-ecological systems and urban planning at the University of Tartu, Estonia (UT)
Associate Partners
The GEM programme includes several associate partners around the world from research, industry, public sector and non-governmental organisations. They participate in joint events, internships and MSc theses, and bring real-world challenges and stakeholders into the classroom. Collaborating with these partners is designed to train students to become high-skilled professionals in geo-information (GI) and Earth observation (EO) science with a solid foundation in applied socio-environmental/socio-ecological modelling.
Information on associate partners will be added here soon.
