On 10 June 2026, researchers from the University of Georgia (Athens, USA) and TUM met at the Weihenstephan campus for a full-day joint seminar — from variable-rate management and precision irrigation in Georgia to UAV and Satellite crop sensing and digital nutrient management at TUM.

TUM alumnus Prof. Christian Bredemeier (UFRGS, Brazil) returned to Weihenstephan on 13 May 2026 to give a guest lecture — “Research in precision and digital agriculture in the context of the Brazilian agribusiness” — followed by a visit to the Precision Agriculture Lab at Dürnast.

Our lab joined the PHENET workshop at INRAE Montpellier to exchange ideas on phenotyping infrastructure, standards, and AI-ready data pipelines for scalable crop monitoring.

DeepSpecN combines PROSPECT-PRO simulations with Conv-Transformer models to estimate leaf nitrogen content from hyperspectral reflectance, eliminating the need for field data collection while achieving unprecedented accuracy.
