"The Master’s Programme Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (M-GEO) is a two-year academic curriculum at MSc level, taught fully in English, dedicated to understanding the earth’s systems from a geographic and spatial perspective. The field of Geo-information Science and Earth Observation has, in recent years, witnessed fast scientific and technological developments. As a result, geographic information has become a vital asset to society and part of our daily life. The ubiquitous production and availability of spatial data require cloud computing and new technology to turn the increasing volume of ‘big data’ to good use. The growing range of global challenges, from climate change and resource depletion to environmental pollution and pandemic diseases, that our society and in particular the more vulnerable populations on our planet are facing, increases the demand for academic professionals who have the ability, attitudes and skills to design solutions that are sustainable, transdisciplinary and innovative with positive societal impacts. Our education focuses on addressing these global problems by means of advanced geo-information and earth observation applications."@en .

"In this course the socio-technical processes involved in organizational change are addressed from social science and from applied technology angles as stated in the introduction. Social science focuses on insights from organization and management studies critical data studies and geodata ethics . To grasp these insights and their relevance to practice lectures are complemented by student-led activities, including the analysis of relevant literature and discussions, and application of organizational assessment and strategy building frameworks. The applied technology angle of the course is addressed through two extensive practical periods with assignments (ca. 1/2 of the allocated time of the course), during which students will acquire and apply technological skills to manage organizational workflows and to analyse web services for spatial data provision. Through the incorporation of literature analysis activities, focus group and interview methods into activities and assignments the course also provides opportunity to learn and practice these research skills that are applicable beyond the specific course content."@en .

"Land administration has long been executed through state-based agencies such as cadastral departments, land registry offices, ministries of land, or local governments with their own analogue or digital data repositories. These organizations do not act in a vacuum, but within larger institutional fields and forces. The broader environment of land governance, in which public organizations operate, is characterized by the interactions of multiple state and non-state actors, formal and informal practices, a multitude of regulatory frameworks and increasing global interconnectivity. This environment has been witnessing public sector reforms and increased adoption of (geo)Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), including automatization techniques, mobile device generated data, crowdsourcing and advanced remote sensing technologies. In many places more established forms of organizing meet latest technological developments. While some organizations are beginning to digitize paper-based workflows, others may function through highly automated and digitized processes. At the same time information technologies and digital data are not merely neutral tools, but they reflect, transport and transform the practices and values of organizations and institutional fields.\n\nIt is important therefore to understand and learn how to describe, explain, and assess organizational change in response to changing environments, (geo-)ICT implementation, and related forms of data sharing, uses and dissemination. In this course, these socio-technical processes are addressed from social science and from applied technology angles"@en . "Organizing Land Information"@en . "Organizing Land Information"@en .
