On 16 June 2025, the DANSER project was presented to M.Sc. students in Applied Geoinformatics at the University of Salzburg as part of a GIScience lecture focused on landscape ecology and geoinformatics.
Under the title “Landscape Ecological Findings through the Lens of Geoinformatics: The Projects DANSER, SELINA, and SpongeCity”, the lecture introduced DANSER alongside two other European projects, showing how geoinformatics can support the understanding and management of complex environmental challenges.
Students were introduced to DANSER’s objectives, the challenges surrounding sediment balance in the Danube River Basin, and the project’s digital platform concept. Particular attention was given to the role that GIScience and spatial data can play in developing and supporting sustainable sediment management solutions.
The lecture provided an opportunity to connect DANSER’s research with higher education and introduce future geoinformatics professionals to practical applications of digital tools in river basin and ecosystem management.
