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?

One focus of the session “Remote Sensing for Forest Applications” at the upcoming European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2025 (EGU25) in Vienna, Austria (27 April – 2 May 2025), will be on the outcomes of the 3DForEcoTech COST Action (www.3dforecotech.eu). Its focus is on developing protocols for data acquisition and processing, fusion for forest inventory...

We are pleased to extend an invitation to submit an abstract in our  session titled “Remote Sensing for Forest Applications” at the upcoming European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2025 (EGU25), to be held in Austria (27 April – 2 May 2025). This session explores the potentials and limitations of various remote sensing applications in forestry,...

Dear forest scientists, As part of the COST action 3DForEcoTech and COST SNSF project, we aim to establish an international collaboration and create the first database for the detection of individual tree species. We are seeking i) manual tree species canopy delineations and ii) aerial RGBI (red, green, blue, and near infrared) or RGB imagery data for the delineated tree species...

Do you have data from destructive measurements (traditional approach) paired with scans from close-range technologies? This kind of data is quite scarce and involves much work. Therefore, the value of this data, combined from different locations/countries, is even greater, and we would really appreciate it if you could help us in the compilation of information to improve our knowledge...

From monitoring to modelling Aim & Objectives The increasing rates of changes in environmental conditions put higher pressure on science to provide robust estimates of future ecosystem development. We need robust approaches to measure the current state, understand the processes and then accurately predict the development of forest ecosystems. In this view, the members of...
