EORIC: A Story of Vision, Persistence, and Innovation in Ghana’s Earth Observation Journey The story of the Earth Observation Research and Innovation Centre (EORIC) at the University of Energy and Natural Resources (UENR) in Ghana is one born out of vision, persistence, and a passion for harnessing space-based technologies for national development. It is a testament to how individual initiative, institutional support, and strategic partnerships can converge to create a centre of excellence in Earth observation science in West Africa. At the African Association of Remote Sensing of the Environment (AARSE) Conference in Kampala, Uganda, from 22 – 24th October 2009, a young academic—Mr. Amos T.
