Abstract:
The proposed project (EarthBridge) aims to: (i) substantially increase the interdisciplinary research capacity of the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague (CZU) in the field of environmental Earth observation (EO); (ii) and to further improve the use of environmental EO tools by a wider community, through twinning with two internationally leading universities: Technische Universität Dresden (TUD) in Germany, and Alma Mater Studiorum - Universitá di Bologna (UNIBO) in Italy. EarthBridge focuses on the development and application of environmental assessment methods for monitoring, restoration, and conservation of biodiversity in agricultural landscapes, a research topic of high relevance to Europe. The project will benefit from ongoing research activities that will feed into it existing EO data. Ways to achieve the bridging will include staff exchanges; scientific training and training to prepare research proposals; organisation of summer school and scoping for a joint study programme; a synthesis project for early-career researchers; and involvement of regional/national institutions according to their needs or requirements.
