For describing forest ecosystems appropriate datasets are essential. To enable a comprehensive description of the forest ecosystem, it is often necessary to work with data fusion methods based on various types of remote sensing data. The members of two COST Actions (3DForEcoTech, PROCLIAS) joined their forces to develop research and training activities to link forest dynamic models with modern technologies and this is the focus of this summer school.

Target Audience

This summer school is designed for PhD candidates and postdocs from a variety of research fields focusing on forest ecosystems. We have 32 places available for this summer school. Check out some impressions of the 2023 edition in Ljubljana, Slovenia here.
