BOKU'S ROLE AT THE PROJECT

BOKU will lead Work Package 4 (WP4), which aims to support the implementation of the STELLA PSS in a collaborative environment involving scientists, agronomists, farmers, phytosanitary operators, foresters, and policymakers across six real-life UCPs. The goal is to establish a framework for demonstrating the STELLA PSS and to coordinate and support demonstrations of the STELLA PSS in the UCPs, while gathering qualitative and quantitative feedback data for evaluation and validation.
