Location: Room 112, Campus Fryslân, University of Groningen, Leeuwarden

An engaging talk by Wouter Vansteelant from BirdEyes, where you will be informed on the practices used to tell the story of how birds connect us all globally.
Explore the world told from the perspective of birds and allow them to reveal the interconnected world in which we live, where monitored bird behaviour in the Netherlands can bare invaluable insights of locations thousands of kilometres away.

Brought to you by Campus Fryslân, University of Groningen, this event is open to anyone with a curiosity in ecology, use of data, and our interconnected world.

Agenda

In addition, we are currently organizing targeted work meetings, building on the traditions that we have developed during the Wadvogelwerk (Metawad-Waddenfonds), Kening fan ‘e Greide for many years, and the black-tailed godwit research in southwest Fryslân.

Centre for global ecological change at the University of Groningen

Birdeyes is a science and creative centre that views the world - almost literally - through the eyes of birds. More and more birds are flying around with tiny transmitters, loggers and other high technology on their backs and legs. This generates an unimaginable amount of information. By cleverly combining such data with other sources of information, and by using new ways to tell stories and share the insights with, BirdEyes strives to open up a new knowledge network. The centre at the Faculties of Science & Engineering and Campus Fryslân aims to be an innovative part of the University of Groningen and is linked to the Rudolph Agricola School for Sustainable Development. BirdEyes, with empirical and inspirational roots in the farthest corners of the world.
