2025 Thematic research infrastructures: Local research infrastructures to strengthen regional R&D ac

Description of the granted funding

The aim of RENNEO research infrastructure (RI) project is to build a regional network of natural ecosystem observations in Häme region. The research data provided by the network can be used to improve understanding of carbon sequestration in forest ecosystems and the impacts of land use on them. The RENNEO network is intended to act as a research and testing laboratory for greenhouse gas calculations, contributing to the development of a national greenhouse gas inventory and improving forest carbon balance calculations. RENNEO RI includes forest measurements, mobile measurement devices and Forest Observatory – an online user interface, which serves the efficient utilization of the collected research data for various stakeholders. The RENNEO RI is being built in cooperation between Häme University of Applied Sciences and the Finnish Meteorological Institute, and it will engage in regional cooperation with e.g. the University of Helsinki and the Natural Resources Institute Finland
