Forest-Human-Machine Interplay - Building Resilience, Redefining Value Networks and Enabling Meaningful Experiences (UNITE)
Leaders
In a biosociety, humans and machines will steward our planet collaboratively and enable sustainable, rich and meaningful living for generations to come. To reach this vision, our flagship will develop 1) disruptive technologies for capturing forest ecosystem structure and functioning, 2) agile knowledge creation methods based on the forest data 3) smart decision support for human actions in space and time and 4) gameful forest interactions through gamification and virtual reality approaches for enhancing human-nature interplay. Our consortium brings together world leading research groups in forest sciences, geospatial technology, and gamification / gameful human-technology interaction, of which research and co-creation with key stakeholders and scientific collaborators will provide knowledge-based support for societies, industry and individuals to adapt changes that are caused by changes in natural – business -, and societal systems.
