The overall Goals of EOMonDis are achieved by four main tasks

  • Requirements Assessment: User, market and technical requirement assessment.
  • Innovation and Development: Developing improved forest monitoring products and prototyping a service platform.
  • Demonstration and Validation: Product testing and verification in four test areas; customisation of the service platform according to user requests.
  • Service Sustainability: Development of a three year business concept based on dissemination and marketing activities.
