AniMove in Covid times

After the cancellation of AniMove 2020 the AniMove core group met again last week and discussed if/how an AniMove in 2021 could take place. Unfortunately we concluded unanimously that it would not be possible to hold an international course in person in a safe and...

AniMove 2020 postponed!

We are postponing the 2020 AniMove course due to the current Corona crisis. We tried to wait for as long as it seemed responsible, but now we feel that we need to make the uncomfortable decision. In the view of the situation currently, the Max-Planck institute of...

What We Offer.
Our Skills.

AniMove is a ground-breaking capacity-building contribution [… ] great opportunities for students to learn about the cutting edge of movement ecology and the important insights which it opens for conservation

Tom Brooks

Director, IUCN Science and Knowledge

We offer two weeks of intensive course and project work to learn how to analyze animal movement data and combine it with remote sensing environmental data.

AniMove is a collective of international researchers with extensive experience in the topics of animal movement analysis, remote sensing and/or conservation. It is a two-week intensive training course for studying animal movement in conjunction with environmental parameters derived from remote sensing for conservation application. AniMove is a non-profit training initiative run by volunteers of various organisations such as MPI, JMU, SCBI or BIK-F.
