The Forest Information Technology focuses on fundamental and applied knowledge of environmental information technologies and Green Information Technologies applications in the global forestry context. Graduates are experts in the application of modern information technologies in the forest and environmental sector and can solve problems in silvicultural practice as well as spatial information and data management. The certificates of degree are issued by the two enrolling partner universities. Both diplomas enable entering various European and international job markets with a focus on digital technologies or sustainable natural resource management and empirical ecological research.

The Forest Information Technology program is designed for individuals interested in combining environmental sciences with modern digital technologies. It is suitable for those who want to use data analysis, IT tools, and geospatial technologies to support forest management and environmental monitoring.
