The mission of WUR is “Exploring the potential of nature to improve the quality of life”. Integrated as part of its performance objectives, with its approximately 30 branches, 6,500 employees and 12,500 students, Wageningen University & Research fosters a coordinated approach to problems and cooperation between various fields. The Geoinformation and Remote Sensing Sciences Laboratory focuses on our living environment: nature, landscape, land use, mitigation and adaptation to climate change, water management and various claims in space through a set of techniques of remote sensing that include satellites to terrestrial spectral devices. All of this through the interconnection of data with the help of Geographic Information Systems.
