ABOUT US

Dryads is a cooperation project between the SCAN Laboratory (https://scan.di.uoa.gr/) and the Ministry of Environment and Energy (https://ypen.gov.gr/), funded by ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability, with support from Google.org. Dryads is an AI-powered platform to manage forest resilience and mitigate climate change impacts. Addressing Greece’s wildfire risks, Dryads uses continuous multimodal sensing to extract microclimate profiles, identify anthropogenic risk factors and sources of high environmental risk to enable early wildfire detection, evolution forecasting and assessment. Dryads also supports risk prevention and vulnerability management for forests and peri-urban areas.
