Background
This DAAD funded workshop will take place along the ForestSat congress in Santiago de Chile. ForestSAT 2016 is the seventh edition of this international scientific conference, which aims to disseminate the latest knowledge gained from research in the field of remote sensing and geomatics in forestry applications. We organized this student and alumni workshop together with our partners from the Facultad de Ciencias Forestales y Recursos Naturales at Universidad Austral de Chile, Valdivia (UACh). Thanks to the funding of DAAD, we are now looking back to a series of very successful student and alumni workshops that bring together DAAD funded international students from our international Master program (TIF) and professionals and alumni from all over the world. For more background information on prior workshops in this series we refer to the category DAAD workshops.
Guest lectures
The program for our workshop is divided in two parts. Before we meet on our workshop in Chile there will be an introductory seminar with guest lectures held at the University of Göttingen. These presentations gave an introduction to the role of International Forestry Policies and the role of National Forest Data and Information.
