“Super-Test-Site Würzburg” consortium meeting

“Super-Test-Site Würzburg” consortium meeting

February 19, 2025

The core team of our “Super-Test-Site Würzburg” consortium (University of Würzburg, the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nürnberg and the German Aerospace Center) met again in Würzburg on the 18th of February 2025.


Preliminary and very promising results of the interdisciplinary field work carried out in June (
https://remote-sensing.org/super-test-site-wurzburg-from-the-idea-to-realization/ and https://remote-sensing.org/super-test-site-wurzburg-project-meeting/) were presented and discussed. The collected diverse data, whether on physical space of the built or natural environment, environmental variables such as temperature or air quality, or on the behavior, stress symptoms, perceptions and feelings of people moving around the city or on online (social) media allow for a more holistic approach towards understanding urban space. The meeting once again demonstrated that opening new avenues of research by combining expertise from multiple disciplines leads to valuable insights and strengthens the scientific network.
