Summer School 2025 - Adapting forests to climate change: operationalizing assisted migration
External Meeting | Austrian Research Centre for Forests (BFW), Czech University of Life Sciences (CZU) & EVOLTREE
Place: Traunkirchen, Austria
Following the success of its first edition in 2023, the Austrian Research Centre for Forests (BFW), the Czech University of Life Sciences (CZU), and EVOLTREE will jointly organise the third Summer School on Adapting Forests to Climate Change: Operationalising Assisted Migration. This event will take place from 28 July to 1 August 2025 at FAST-Traunkirchen, Austria.
The programme will focus on machine-learning techniques for mapping tree adaptation, genetic foundations of local adaptation, the integration of these insights with tree breeding and nursery practices, as well as digital phenotyping technologies. It is designed for MSc and PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and forestry professionals who possess basic knowledge of R and statistics. All lectures will be delivered in English.
Registration is open until 30 June 2025!
