The Annual Review Meeting (PM4) of the GSE Forest Monitoring Consortium was held in Vienna, Austria from 9-11 October 2007. The meeting was hosted by Dr. Stefanie Linser of the Umweltbundesamt Austria.

This final meeting for Phase 1 of the GSE FM was attended by users, service providers, research partners and expert consultants. The objective of the meeting was the presentation of the main achievements by the consortium in Phase 1. Additionally, the further plans for Phase 2 were also discussed.

A key end result was an overall good user evaluation and demonstrable new user interests and related services; these factors provide evidence for the increasing user demand and progress towards sustainability. The next Phase will be initiated in November 2006.
