Short Term Scientific Mission (05/2023)

Working group 5 – Forest Ecology

Open call for Project Proposals, Evaluation of proposals starts on: 23rd May, 2023

The call will remain open until all funds are allocated, but we will start to evaluate proposals on 23rd May 2023, so please submit soon! 

STSM Grants fund visits by:

  • The PhD Student or
  • Postdoctoral fellow or
  • Someone else, employed by an instutition, organization of legal entity which has within its remit a clear association with performing research
  • Max. 4500 € per person (per STSM)
  • STSMs visit lasting approx. 1-3 months and should end until the end of September
  • 4-5 STSMs in 2023
Do you have an idea for a project on the use of 3D close range technologies for forest ecology and would like to host a visitor to help you with the work?
We would like to hear from you!

Please send us 300- 400 words outlining the project and data available, anticipated outputs, the timeframe of the STSM, and your (short) CV or website. If you have a visitor in mind please send us their CV too; if not we will advertise selected projects across the COST action.

We want to fund projects clearly focussing on addressing ecological questions, they should be feasible within the timeframe proposed, and participants should commit to supporting the visitor during and after the STSM to achieve the outputs.

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...
