Recently, we expanded our collaboration network through a new cooperation agreement with the West University of Timișoara under DTEClimate - Competence Center for Climate Change Digital Twin for Earth forecasts and societal redressment.
The collaboration will focus on research and development initiatives that leverage Earth observation data and artificial intelligence technologies for advanced predictive models and methodologies to better understand and mitigate climate change impacts.
In 2025, POLITEHNICA Bucharest established partnerships with both NGOs and national institutions, strengthening our collaborative framework for addressing climate and environmental challenges. These partnerships enable joint research initiatives, improved data sharing, and the co-development of tools and methodologies that support environmental resilience and informed decision-making.
We mention hereafter the Romanian National Center for Cartography (CNC) and the World Wide Fund for Nature Romania (WWF Romania).
CNC’s expertise in LiDAR data processing and high-precision geospatial analysis supports the AI4DTE subproject for improved environmental parameter estimation, particularly in the calibration of forest canopy height models, which are important for understanding vegetation dynamics under a changing climate.
WWF’s expertise in ecosystem monitoring, environment, and climate is greatly valued by several of our subprojects, particularly AI4DTE and EO4NATURE. Building on the collaboration agreement, POLITEHNICA Bucharest will support WWF in a separate research activity on energy and urban adaptive land reuse.
