Physical Part Description
The 5 days of intensive learning experiences (2-6 June 2025) focus on practical exercises, applications, and discussions. Teaching staff will give teaching input and lead smaller working groups dedicated to deepening the learning experiences.
These include:
· drawing lessons from interdisciplinary theoretical approaches and problematizing them in terms of practicability (case studies about using drones)
· building micro-projects related to using drones for different case studies
· experimenting with drones in urban planning and management (air pollution, urban biodiversity, land use and land cover, urban climate)
· meet stakeholders from local governments, NGOs, private companies, administrations, and citizens, and learn about their interests, needs, and recommendations for urban planning and management.
· participating in excursions to analyze the challenges related to using the drones
