Abstract:
The Flemish Institute for Technological Research (VITO) is an independent research and development institute that focuses on innovative technologies and scientific knowledge to facilitate the transition to a more sustainable society and economy. VITO develops innovative technological solutions and provides scientifically underpinned advice and support to stimulate sustainable development and strengthen the economic and social environment in Flanders and beyond.

VITO's research is divided into five themes including:
  • sustainable chemistry;
  • sustainable land use;
  • sustainable health;
  • sustainable materials;
  • sustainable energy.


Remote sensing and land use modelling are the core technologies applied to sustainable land use. Within the Remote Sensing unit, the focus is placed on the development and demonstration of image processing algorithms and related models, using (manned and unmanned) airplanes, water platforms as well as satellite observations.
