LifeWatch.be Users & Stakeholders Meeting

Date: 19-20 November 2019

Venue: Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences (RBINS), Vautierstraat 29, 1000 Brussels

On 8 and 9 November 2019, the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences (RBINS) and the Bats Working Group of Natuurpunt Study organize a two-day symposium on bats migration.

On Friday, participants assemble in Ostend - in the offices of VLIZ - for an international seminar on bats migration along the North Sea coast as an underexposed phenomenon with consequences for spatial planning and landscape management (language: English).

As part of the decadal conference series, OceanObs’19 will galvanize the ocean observing community ranging from scientists to end users. OceanObs’19 seeks to improve response to scientific and societal needs of a fit-for-purpose integrated ocean observing system, for better understanding the environment of the Earth, monitoring climate, and informing adaptation strategies as well as the sustainable use of ocean resources.

During this conference, LifeWatch Belgium will be presenting the LifeWatch Species Information Backbone.

The European Tracking Network (ETN) is a recently-launched initiative to integrate all European aquatic animal tracking in one network. The overarching objective is to ensure the transition from a loosely-coordinated set of existing national and regional telemetry initiatives scattered in Europe to a sustainable, efficient and integrated pan-European biotelemetry network embedded in the international context of other similar networks outside Europe and the new AtlantOS observing program.

During this very interesting AI-day at the Flemish Parliament, Klaas Deneudt from LifeWatch VLIZ will give a talk about "Artificial intelligence applications in marine biodiversity observations".

During the coffee and lunch breaks, the FlowCam software will be demonstrated. The FlowCam is part of the LifeWatch Marine Observatory.

This event will be in Dutch.
