Call for Local Organiser | Interdisciplinary Summer School 2025

We are opening a call for a local organizer of the Interdisciplinary Summer School 2025. It is already the third year in a row that we plan to do a summer school where multiple COST Actions will get together and train a new generation of scientists on how to map, monitor and model forest ecosystem structure and ecosystem processes.

Next year four forest-related COST Actions will get together: 3DForEcoTech, ARiF, CLEANFOREST and PANGEOS. Topics will include ground-based lidar, remote sensing, augmented reality, tree ecophysiology, climate extremes and more – all with a focus on forest monitoring.

As a local organizer, you will have a great opportunity to meet many incredible scientists from various fields of research. You will also get grant support to fund various aspects of the event. More information on local organiser support is here.

The summer school is planned from the 4th to the 8th of August 2025. The number of students and lecturers will not exceed 60. We are looking for a place that would potentially have an available research site with various measured parameters.

If you would like to organize the summer school and be the local organizer, please fill out the form: https://forms.gle/knbu9nK7HVKQCBza7

Local Organiser Support Grant Rules

The call is open till the local organiser is found. The first review is planned for the beginning of January.

Address any questions to Martin Mokros at m.mokros@ucl.ac.uk.

Are you not convinced to go for it?

Open data and databses created or co-created within the 3DForEcoTech COST Action TreeAI Global Database The TreeAI Global Database is an international effort led by Dr. Mirela Beloiu Schwenke (ETH Zürich) to build the world’s most comprehensive collection of high-resolution aerial imagery and expert-annotated individual trees. The project brings together ecologists, remote-sensing scientists, and AI...

3DforEcoTech is launching calls for Virtual mobilities. Below are specific projects that should take 2-3 weeks of work, and you will receive 1,500 euros. For these grants, no travelling is expected. The call opens on September 5th, 2025. The call will close when candidates are found, so it will be on a first-come, first-served basis....

In the summer of 2024, LiDAR data were collected in young pine plantations in the Ourense province in northwest Spain using handheld mobile scanners (HMLS) and terrestrial laser scanners (TLS). In the field, 20 trees were measured, successively felled, dried and weighed. The STSM/virtual mobility we propose represents the preliminary step in developing models for...

Aim & Objectives Precision forestry is an approach to forest management that leverages advanced technologies to enhance decision-making processes and optimize forest operations. LiDAR technologies enable detailed measurements of tree height, canopy density, stem diameter, and even understory vegetation, allowing for a more precise understanding of forest composition and health. By capturing data at a...
