As part of the Baltic University Programme (BUP), you can apply for a summer school entitled “Observation, Modelling and Acting for Sustainable Land-Use in the Context of Climate Change and Biodiversity” at the Estonian University of Life Sciences in Tartu. This event offers an intensive interdisciplinary learning experience focused on land use and land cover change (LUCC). All master’s and doctoral students and other early-career researchers are eligible to apply. The event will combine Earth observation, spatial data integration, and modelling approaches with an analysis of the actors, policies, and governance processes shaping land-use decisions in the context of climate change and biodiversity loss.
Participation in the conference is free of charge; the event organiser will cover accommodation costs, and MENDELU will reimburse travel expenses. For more information, please contact the BUP coordinator, Pavla Soukopová.
