infrastructure that underlies efficient GIS applications is radically different from the infra structure underlying analogue information collection, management, application and dissemination. " Added to this security restrictions that control access to and use of geographic information including airphotography are a crucial cultural element in many developing countries. ITC has recently introduced the integrated digital map and geoinformation production post-graduate course. This is a first step towards establishing a common ground for all scientific departments in the classification of geographical information with a view of optimizing multiple integrated use of that information. In view of the diversity of disci plines in ITC, there lies a great challenge in demonstrating to the world of decision makers, that a generic concept of geoinformation infrastructure can provide common ground for education and research. By solving this challenge, educators can teach methods of introducing GIS technology into existing production organizations and of linking these organizations for more effective decision making in environmental management. CONCLUSION The challenge to educators in the field of global and environmental monitoring is fourfold: (1) inclusion of the indispensable tools of both remote sensing and GIS as standard components in curricula of courses in environmental management or environmental sciences. (2) encouragement of interdisciplinary training both within the natural sciences, and between these and the socio-economic sciences; and (3) stimulation of a new thinking with more direct measurement of dynamic environ mental parameters and on a range of extreme spatiotemporal scales (4) the development of attributes and skills to influence decisions makers. As yet we have not met these challenges at ITC. But I can and do claim that "we try harder". The earlier mentioned ITC/FAO course ARTEMIS/ILWIS for early warning of crop failure in Africa is an example of this. For instrumental training in remote sensing and GIS the ITC now offers various tool- oriented courses in Remote Sensing and GIS, the most important being: • Remote Sensing Applications for Land Resource Surveys and Rural Development; This is a Certificate Course • Digital Image Processing is available both as MSc and as Certificate Course 17
