Short term staff workshop on IoT and sustainable forest management in Bordeaux

A workshop on IoT and Sustainable Forest Management in the Erasmus+ Project "Virtual Forests" took place at National School of Agricultural Engineering, Bordeaux from 24th till 26th May 2023.

The National School of Agricultural Engineering, Bordeaux, hosted a three-day workshop as part of the Erasmus+ funded project "Virtual Forests." The workshop, titled "C2: Short-term joint staff training events [learning, teaching, and training activities]," aimed to explore the growing influence of the Internet of Things (IoT) in forestry and natural resources management.

Under the framework of the "Virtual Forests" project, the workshop provided an invaluable opportunity to delve into the application and implications of IoT technology in the field of sustainable forest and natural resources management. By contextualizing the "digital revolution," the project aims to develop educational materials that empower students and professionals worldwide to acquire applied technology competencies necessary for effective and sustainable management of forests.

"We are delighted to be at the National School of Agricultural Engineering, Bordeaux, for this engaging workshop," said Francisco Gallego Ciprés, CESEFOR representative, for the "Virtual Forests" project. "The impact of IoT on forestry and natural resources management could be immense and far-reaching, and our goal is to equip individuals with the knowledge and skills to leverage this technology for sustainable practices."

The workshop was organized in collaboration with the "Institut Européen de la Forêt Cultivée, France," who warmly welcomed participants and ensured the success of the event, making it an unforgettable experience for all involved.
