Imagine if all the different maps and notes about Europe's forests were scattered in different drawers. This project is building a single, master blueprint to put all that info into one digital dashboard. It uses satellites and AI to spot forest changes instantly, like a high-tech security system for nature.
Forest data in Europe is fragmented across different platforms and formats. This makes it difficult for managers and policymakers to accurately track biodiversity and climate goals in real-time.
A technical blueprint for the European Forest Multifunctionality Monitoring System (EFMMS). This includes AI methods for real-time monitoring and privacy-preserving data integration techniques.
If you are a management firm dealing with fragmented land data — this project developed a blueprint for a harmonized monitoring system that integrates field data and remote sensing. This allows for better planning of timber harvests while protecting biodiversity.
If you are an auditor dealing with unreliable climate data — this project developed AI-driven real-time monitoring and forecasting for ecosystem services. This provides a reliable way to verify carbon sequestration and biodiversity goals.
If you are a software provider dealing with data privacy in public records — this project developed methods to combine field plot data with satellite imagery without revealing secret coordinates. This enables the creation of secure, interoperable information systems.
Based on available project data, the project focuses on creating a blueprint and proposing long-term funding and governance; specific commercial pricing is not listed.
The project is currently co-creating a blueprint and validating methods. It is not yet a deployed industrial-scale product but a design for a future European system.
Based on available project data, there is no specific mention of licensing terms, though it explores using blockchain for data updates.
The project develops routines to combine field plot data with remote sensing without compromising the confidentiality of the plot coordinates.
The project runs from 2024-01-01 to 2027-12-31, meaning the final blueprint will be completed by the end of 2027.
The consortium is heavily weighted toward research and public institutions, consisting of 10 research organizations and 3 universities. With 0% industry participation and 0 SMEs, the project is driven by scientific validation and policy alignment rather than immediate commercial market entry. The 16 partners across 13 countries ensure broad geographical data coverage, which is critical for a European-wide monitoring system.
