About LACO-Wiki

The LACO-Wiki project

LACO-Wiki is a project founded in 2014 and now operated by the project partners the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) and GeoVille GmbH, henceforth the LACO-Wiki team. The project was initially funded by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) in the Austrian Space Applications Programme (ASAP).

This project is based on the LACOVAL tool, which was available as an alpha prototype in 2013 and was funded by the European Space Agency (ESA).
