Task description

This call aims to support a project that will demonstrate how digital solutions, such as blockchain technology, can be utilized to create transparent and immutable records that enhance trust among stakeholders and ensure data integrity over time. Specifically, this call seeks to support activities that advance the knowledge on these methods in the context of distributed information for forest monitoring. The goal is to improve the accessibility, reliability, traceability, and efficiency of forest-related data collection and analysis. Supported activities must demonstrate and showcase how such digital solutions can offer novel and practical tools to support European level forest monitoring of selected forest function(s).
