ITC extends the current agreement with the United Nations University until 2014
On 13 November 2009 the United Nations University (UNU), represented by its rector Professor Conrad Osterwalder, and ITC, represented by its rector Professor Martien Molenaar, extended the current agreement appointing ITC as an Associated Institution until 2014.
The agreement was extended due to the progress achieved between UNU and ITC in the successful implementation of the capacity building programmes in the fields of disaster geo-information management and land administration, as mentioned in the initial agreement. Both ITC and UNU want to further develop this relationship for the mutual benefit of both organisations.
With the extension of this agreement joint programme activities will be developed on disaster management and land administration which are designed to serve institutions with a task in disaster reduction and land administration with emphasis on sustainable development.
