Different disciplines. One shared view of forests.

French–German collaboration

AI4Forest brings together scientists from leading French and German research institutions. Their expertise spans climate science, remote sensing, artificial intelligence, mathematical optimization and forest ecology. The project hence connects methodological innovation with the knowledge needed to understand forests at national and global scales.
