Water balance and irrigation modelling
Tree Risk Analysis based on historic data, meteorological data and Artificial Intelligence.
Tree species selection for green infrastructure and AI chatbot integration in GreenSpaces.
New regulatory frameworks to consider in the development of GreenSpaces.
From scientific validation to product development
The Scientific Advisory Board plays a central role in ensuring that GreenSpaces remains grounded in validated scientific methodologies while addressing real operational challenges faced by cities and public organisations.
All feedback collected during the meeting will be systematically analysed and translated into concrete development actions. The objective is to continuously improve the platform, strengthening its scientific robustness and its ability to support data-driven decision-making in urban green management.
R3GIS confirms its commitment to working in close collaboration with the scientific community, ensuring that innovation is not only technological, but also methodologically sound and aligned with the latest research.
