Events
The Centre for Animals on the Move (CAM) hosts a number of informal and formal events a year. Throughout the academic year, our lecture series - Movement Mondays - brings world-leading experts to Western (in-person or virtually) to share their work. Movement Mondays is also our informal meeting for trainees and faculty members to meet to discuss the field more general as well as workshop ideas, brainstorm interdisciplinary collaborations, and learn new skills.

This will be an interactive workshop that introduces image classification concepts and workflows for biological applications, using the ecoClassify package for SyncroSim. SyncroSim (https://syncrosim.com/) is an open-science platform for bundling and managing complex models and analysis tools; with packages co-developed by governments and academics, it gives researchers access to trusted, well-documented tools for analysis and modelling.
