University collaboration
Six institutions, four kinds of relationship.
Terravek was founded out of a university research group and has never entirely left one. Our academic relationships run in four forms: joint doctoral supervision, MSc thesis placements, curriculum licensing, and independent validation.
Delft Institute of Applied Geomatics (DIAG)
Founding research relationship; joint PhD programme and internship pipeline.
Hanseatic University of Applied Sciences, Bremen
Optics and photonics collaboration with the Photonwerk team.
Baltic Technical University, Tallinn
Software engineering internships and the Terravek Baltics graduate track.
Institut Occitan des Sciences Spatiales (IOSS)
Ground segment and mission planning research.
Rift Valley Agricultural College
Agronomy placements and AGRISENSE curriculum development.
What we offer universities
Free curriculum licence
Terravek Academy content is free to license for any university running it inside a degree programme. Four institutions are doing so this academic year.
Free ATLAS Sandbox
1,000 requests a day against a fixed sample catalogue, with no commercial conversation required. It exists so that teaching does not need a subscription.
Paid placements
MSc thesis placements at €900/month and summer internships at €1,100/month, both with travel allowances. We do not run unpaid placements.
Calibration range access
The Vollenhove Polder range is available to academic groups for validation campaigns at cost. Requests to calibration@terravek.com.
Independent validation
Rift Valley Agricultural College runs the seasonal field validation of AGRISENSE recommendations in East Africa, independently of Terravek, and we publish the results whether or not they flatter the model. In the first season they did not entirely. This arrangement exists because a vendor validating its own agronomy recommendations is not a validation.
