Mission
VITO investigates the impact of human activities on the environment in a spatial and temporal context.
Our mission is to develop and implement (ICT) tools to predict the actual and future evolution of scarce environmental resources such as land, air, water and soil in function of both time and space.
VITO aims to be a leading player in the provision of products and services in promoting sustainable land use practices and assessing anthropogenic impacts on scarce environmental resources.
Vision
Through E-research and in the framework of ' My environment ' we contribute to sustainable land use, policy support and customer enthusiasm for public authorities, research centers, citizens and industry.

Activities
The Land and Water Management (LWM) team performs studies on the environmental effects of human activities in an integrated way, focusing on land and water management, the impact of climate change and the economic valuation of ecosystems and landscapes.

The Spatial-Dynamic Modelling and Modelling of Atmospheric Processes (RAM) team develops models and scenarios to simulate and analyse changes in spatial land use. In addition, the team develops atmospheric models to predict air quality and meterological models to predict urban heat stress. In both cases tools are developed to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of both technical and non-technical measures.
