Dear Colleagues:
COST is currently inviting researchers to submit proposals on green
Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the forest sector. A
Green Engineering Camp (GEC) that will take place in Plitvice National Park,
Croatia, 2-6 July 2012, http://www.cost.eu/events/gec, where outstanding
proposals will be presented. The GEC's main aim is to collect and award
innovative ideas using Green ICT in real-life applications, especially
related to current and future challenges in the European forest sector. It
will encourage intelligent use and development of ICT to increase
environmental efficiency in forests, forestry, forest industries, logistics
etc.
This is an excellent initiative, but it relies entirely on a sufficient
number of proposals. Examples of possible subject areas can be found in the
Call for Ideas at <http://www.cost.eu/download/CallforIdeas>
http://www.cost.eu/download/CallforIdeas.
You are invited to submit proposals and/or distribute the call text widely,
not only to foresters and forest institutions but also to ICT and others.
Best regards
