The ‘Applied Geoinformatics’ MSc (AGI) is aim-
ing at a professional qualification based on strong
scientific foundations. Methods supporting the path-
way ‘from data towards information’ ultimately tar-
get policy development and decision making.
Students are using FOSS as well as commercial tech-
nologies from Autodesk, Definiens, ERDAS, ESRI,
Google and Microsoft.
