In May, TAMK had seven partners from Italy,
Spain, France, Belgium and Finland attending an International Forestry Week to further
develop 'The HAMMER' project.
HAMMER (Harvesting with Marteloscope Methodology
in an European Ring) is a digital application which enables forestry students
and professionals to share information of forest plots, monitor forest growth
and diversity, simulate cutting decisions and overall improve forest management. The application is projected to be launched in June 2016.

- Currently we are preparing a
user manual for the application. We have a vision for our project when schools
all over Europe use it to educate their students more efficiently, Philippe
Jego, Co-ordinator of the HAMMER Project commented.
Teachers in
forestry programme can teach their students and assess their understanding
simply by simulating forest cutting decisions using the app, which records the
present situation of forests, and the future economics of transformation.
