High-Level keynote with Gunter Dueck

Innovation, forests and impact-investment

As a multiple awarded scientist, philosopher and freelance writer, Gunter Dueck will stimulate further thinking with his innovative and unconventional approaches and will set the mood for the upcoming program points.

Excursion in the forest

The excursion in the nearby Nature-Heritage-Forest of the SUNK, a large environmental foundation, gives the opportunity to learn about the challenges the forestry sector is currently facing due to climate change.

Innovation along the trail: three founding teams present their current solutions out of the digital and biological sectors.

Video-Show with Andreas Kieling

Dinner and networking around campfires

Camp fires and a romantic castle atmospher in the garden set the ideal frame to think about the impressions of the day and exchange with others.

Barcamp Session Planing

Participants present any workshop ideas in plenary. A vote among the participants will then identify the most popular topics, which will then be included as workshops in the Barcamp sessions starting at 12 noon. It therefore depends on the persuasiveness of the idea generator:in whether a topic is put on the agenda.

Note: A barcamp is an open conference with open workshops whose content and schedule are developed by the participants themselves at the beginning of the conference and shaped in the further course. Barcamps serve the exchange of content and discussion, but can also show concrete results at the end of the event.  (Wikipedia)

Barcamp Session #1

Three parallel workshops take place, supported by their participants;

They are introduced by a maximum 15-minute input by the idea generator, followed by a 30-minute exchange in the plenary.

Results are documented by the idea generator.

Workshop 1

Sensors: The basis for the „Digital twin of the forest“ and Smart Services in forestry

The path to the forest of the future leads through digitalisation. The current development of new sensoric systems comes ever closer to generate the "Digital twin of the forest". This data will provide new data-based services to better manage forests. Stationary or mobile sensors will be enhanced by satellite-data or sky-based data and various computer-based prediction models. In this workshop, we look at the status quo of forestry sensoric and discuss which additional utilisations could be easely implemented.

Barcamp Session 2

Three parallel workshops take place, supported by their participants;

They are introduced by a maximum 15-minute input by the idea generator, followed by a 30-minute exchange in the plenary.

Results are documented by the idea generator.

Workshop 2

Innovative solutions for a rethought reforestation

In this workshop, we discuss inovative solutions for reforestations: it will be about online market-places for concrete projects, the automation of reforestation, the mapping of plots with drones, the online representation of plots using geo-referencing and block-chain certifications. We will also discuss the intelligent interlinking of these solutions and identify the missing pieces to the puzzle.

Barcamp Session 3

Three parallel workshops take place, supported by their participants;

They are introduced by a maximum 15-minute input by the idea generator, followed by a 30-minute exchange in the plenary.

Results are documented by the idea generator.

Workshop 3

Innovation for agro-forestry

Agro-forestry can link forestry and agriculture. On the one hand, it offers the ideal framework for trying out solutions from agriculture in an almost forestry context, thereby supporting the transfer of ideas from agriculture to forestry. On the other hand, agroforestry represents the largest unused CO2 sink in our landscape. As a possible stepping stone habitat, it can also link forest areas and make a positive contribution to the conservation of biodiversity. In this workshop, we bring together actors from agroforestry, sensor technology and robotics to jointly develop innovative ideas for agroforestry.
