Geospatial Information Systems Engineering

This area delivers R&I focused on applied research leading to products and services, better aligned with the industry's needs. One branch aims to provide specialised and advanced consultancy, technology transfer and innovation, and support adopting good practices and emerging standards by companies and public administration entities. Another branch aims to help induce a market pull drive into research and technological development and generate a convergence of knowledge, competencies, and synergies to help produce solutions for Agro-Food and Industry, involving companies and public entities. We are also pushing for the adoption of ICT solutions using geospatial information systems based on OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) standards and spatial data infrastructures.
