ITC | Alumni - networks, associations, activities & services

It may be one, 10 or even 60 years since they left, but ITC’s former students still have a strong bond with the Institute and the Netherlands, and still keep in touch with ITC and friends from their student days.

ITC alumni belong to a worldwide community of over 20,000 individuals, who together form an extensive network of international contacts, a network that includes United Nations organisations, universities, research groups, resources survey and map production services, and various international professional associations.

ITC celebrates its 70 year anniversary

Our 70th birthday provides the chance for a festive moment to reflect on our past, present and future. We like to celebrate together with our staff and students and showcase ITC’s expertise built up over time. We hope to bring together our valuable ITC community, especially our alumni and partners from all over the world. The diverse activities will be organized in a hybrid way with most activities streamed live on the ITC website. In the first week of September the 'ITC 70 years' website will go live, after which you can also register for participation in online sessions. One particular element from the event is a global challenge:

“The past is now! - Showcase your ingenuity!”
This online competition bridges all academic domains of ITC and is open to all ITC staff, students, alumni and visitors, also known as the ITC family. The challenge is to showcase one of your projects where geospatial data was used in an innovative way. The application domain is very broad, fitting all domains of ITC: Sustainable (living) environment / an inclusive society using geospatial technology, and is based on the new ITC position/strategy. The grand price is an expenses paid trip to ITC in 2022, so participation might be well worth the effort!

The event website will be online in September with more information about this challenges and the rest of the programme. In the mean time start thinking of your project and a original way to showcase it!

Refresher courses

Refresher courses are organised for alumni in their home countries or regions and are meant to increase the impact and prolong the effect of earlier training.

These courses are open to alumni in these and neighbouring countries who completed any NFP-funded training or education programme at least two years before the scheduled starting date of the course concerned.

ILWIS Software

ILWIS is a remote sensing and GIS software which integrates image, vector and thematic data in one unique and powerful package on the desktop. It is developed by ITC up to version 3.3. which was released in 2005.

Legalzing your Diploma

It may be necessary to prove the legal status of your diploma. For example for use in your home country, immigration or if you would like to continue your studies outside the Netherlands, you will have to be able to provide a legalised educational document (your diploma or certificate). The legalization can only be done in the country you achieved your diploma or certificate. For legalization of an educational diploma or certificate obtained in The Netherlands you need to go to the Education Executive Agency (DUO) of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (OCW) in Groningen.
