PeatSense is a collaborative platform aimed at contributing to the monitoring, restoration and conservations at peatlands at scale. It is developed by the AI2Peat project, a project funded by Science Foundation Ireland under its Future Digital Challenge call. The AI2Peat consortium is composed of CeADAR - Ireland's centre for applied AI -, iCRAG - the SFI centre for applied geosciences - and NPWS - Ireland's National Parks and Wildlife Services.

The RRR conference on Renewable Resources from Wet and Rewetted Peatlands in Greifswald offers a platform to explore these questions and many others, fostering dialogue between science and practice. By bringing together diverse stakeholders, the event aims to encourage knowledge exchange, build networks, and develop and strengthen practical, forward-looking solutions.

The European Wetland Map (EWM) improves the current state of knowledge on wetlands across Europe by locating, assessing and merging the latest geospatial data, e.g., on the distribution and types of floodplains and wetlands – coastal, mineral and peatlands in a bottom-up approach. It brings together existing data into a comprehensive, easily accessible resource to make wide spread European wetlands visible and enhance their analysis, understanding and management. The approach is described in the attached report. The EWM is made up of individual datasets for each of the countries included.
