Geographical information is becoming more and more important in the World’s societies. Think of physical planning, risk management, navigation systems, location based services, movement analysis, augmented reality, increasing use of maps and volunteered geographical information. This programme is unique because it focusses on the management and application of geographical information from a scientific perspective. And because of the blended learning concept and the co-operation between four renowned Dutch universities: University of Twente/ITC Enschede, TU Delft, Utrecht University and Wageningen University. Each with their own specializations related to geo-information technology, management and applications. The GIMA programme offers more than advanced use of GIS (Geographic Information Systems) for a variety of applications: it also covers the management of geo-information and spatial data infrastructures in organizations and management styles. GIMA also has it’s own website.
