"Enabling better research and innovation through the use of spatial information."

The Geodienst is the spatial expertise center of the UG and is the central point of contact for technological innovation in the field of spatial information technology (data, software, visualization). The Geodienst can help you with:

  • Research proposals
  • Research methodology
  • Spatial data
  • Tooling
  • Analysis
  • Visualizations
  • Customized software
  • Spatial innovation

With a team of around 14 people we work through 100-200 calls a month from different faculties and sometimes from the Hanze University of Applied Sciences or other partners. Over the past two years, we have supported dozens of scientific publications through spatial analysis and visualizations.

We have worked on projects in the fields of Healthy ageing, Energy, Sustainability, Ecology, History, Archaeology, Disaster Risk Managment and more.
