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.

Working Groups 2 and 5 Data preparation for Deep learning models Duration: 3 months. Timing: 20 January 2025 (flexible starting). Location: in person Total estimated grant: 4000 euros Description: This STSM Position Grant is important to the WG2 (data fusion) and WP5 (forest ecology) activities. During this STSM the successful candidate will help with the website preparation,...

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 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...

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...
