Nerijus Kupstaitis, CEO of CoE has revisited Tharandt Forest Academy since early 2000’s after finishing doctoral thesis there.

In digital forestry, technology is moving fast, being part of that network it’s how the field moves forward.
That’s exactly why we joined the ARiF General Working Group Meeting (COST Action CA23135) at the historic Tharandt Forest Academy (TU Dresden), the cradle of forestry science since 1811. Two days of presentations, discussion and connection, including:
• HoloLens 2 for accurate DBH measurements in the forest
• Digital twin–based virtual tree tagging linking field and office
• Augmented reality projects across Europe
• Advanced forest inventory through laser scanning and 3D modelling
• Forest 4.0 digital solutions — Lithuanian examples
• A shared discussion on the future direction of the ARiF Action

Representing Lithuania and Vytautas Magnus University in this network is a real opportunity — and a group photo of all participants is coming soon. Stay tuned!
