In the Space and Sustainable Tourism Webinar recorded on 7 July 2021, Dirk De Ketelaere gave an overview of IRMCo’s efforts to promote the use of satellite image derived applications in Malta, which span a period of over 25 years. Entitled “Safeguarding the Green and Blue Open Spaces of Malta’s Grand Harbour”, the main thrust of his presentation was on the highly successful application of Public Participatory Geographic Information Systems (PPGIS) in the EU funded Mare Nostrum project under the ENPI CBC Med Programme.  Before that, he gleaned back at the company’s use of PPGIS in Egypt, Turkey and Brazil in the EU funded FP7 SIRIUS project. He concluded with glimpses of what the application of PPGIS in the EU funded AQUACYCLE project under the ENI CBC Med Programme is planned to look like.
