SWIFTT Project

Yesterday, November 26th, SWIFTT partner Da Vinci Labs and La Fabrique du Futur co-organised the second edition of the Da Vinci Dialogues: Deep Tech for a Desirable Future! From project partner AXA Climate, Quentin Voituron 🌳explained the importance of forests and how satellite imagery can support forest managers in containing windthrow or wildfires and protecting forest health. The event hosted by the ISC Paris Campus featured exceptional speakers to explore the transformative power of deeptech innovations and One Health. This holistic approach addresses the interconnected health of humans, animals, and the environment. By integrating these areas, we can better address global challenges like #climatechange, #pandemics, and #foodsecurity, making it a vital framework for sustainable innovation and future well-being.

Forestry stakeholders, we want to hear from you! https://lnkd.in/ezhJ6qSE The SWIFTT Project, funded by the European Union, is developing a platform that will offer forest managers an affordable, easy-to-use, and effective forest monitoring service by utilising Copernicus satellite imagery and advanced machine learning models. We would greatly appreciate it if you could take approximately 15 minutes to complete this survey, which will help us better adapt the platform to meet the needs of the forestry community. Access the survey: https://lnkd.in/ezhJ6qSE By participating, you may also be invited to beta-test the SWIFTT platform. The survey is in English but has been machine-translated into all official EU languages. Feel free to share the survey with colleagues or others who may have valuable input for our project. Should you have any questions or additional feedback, do not hesitate to contact us via the form on the survey page. We look forward to your response! #environment #forestry #satellites #ai #machinelearning #horizoneurope Ariane Kaploun | Quentin Voituron | Nataliia Kussul | Annalisa Appice | Laura Veinberga | Chiara Solimini | Xavier Aubry | Quentin d'Huart | Juris Zarins | Hanna Yailymova | Andrii Shelestov | EUSPA - EU Agency for the Space Programme
