ECOSENSE Conference 2025

The CRC ECOSENSE cordially invites you to join the international ECOSENSE conference from September, 29th to October, 1st 2025 in Freiburg, the “green” city in Southern Germany. Following our ECOSENSE project on development of smart autonomous sensor networks to study high spatial and temporal resolution of ecosystem carbon, water and VOC fluxes across scales to detect stress impacts in forests, we will host an interdisciplinary event bringing together environmental scientists and engineers. We welcome contributions on novel approaches to study ecosystem processes and stress impacts along the soil-plant-atmosphere as well as novel sensor principles, distributed sensor networks and modelling. We aim to share novel ideas, recent results and discuss about innovative technologies to monitor ecosystem processes on a multiscale level.

We are happy to announce the following keynote speakers:

Prof. Dr. Marc Madou

Distinguished Professor, Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey (Tec),
