Biodiversity Meets Data: High-throughput biodiversity monitoring workshop – analysing and mobilising camera trap & Acoustic Recorder Data
See event!
Biodiversity Meets Data (BMD) project is offering another exciting opportunity to learn how to use new monitoring and AI analysis tools focused on the detection of species listed under the Habitats and Birds Directives.
From 5-6 November, a 1.5-day high-throughput monitoring workshop will take place, and participants will gain practical training on biodiversity monitoring and analyses, including the following topics:
Camera traps with Artificial Intelligence (AI) species identification
Acoustic Recorders with Artificial Intelligence (AI) species identification
Publishing your biodiversity data to the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF)
There are 30 places available for participants. You can express your interest in joining the workshop via this online form. Expressions of interest are welcome until 1 September 2026 (00:00 CET), and the BMD team will then select 30 participants to join the workshop. You will be notified shortly after the application deadline.
While the workshop itself is free to attend, travel and accommodation costs won’t be reimbursed, in principle.
Who should attend?
Natura 2000 site managers;
Conservation practitioners;
Researchers monitoring biodiversity of Europe's protected areas;
Representatives of authorities and organisations responsible for biodiversity monitoring and reporting;
The venue details are yet to be confirmed.
The BMD workshop is free to attend and is intended for site managers or organisations that are responsible for the monitoring of biodiversity in Natura 2000 sites and are interested in using high-throughput state-of-the-art methodologies. Organisations that are already working with camera traps and audio moths are encouraged to bring their own dataset to be analysed in the ARISE DSI portal.
Certificates of participation can be provided to workshop attendees upon request.
