You can register to the iDiv Summer School 2024 “Deep learning for biodiversity and ecological research”, 25 to 29 August 2025, in Leipzig, Germany! This year’s iDiv Summer School is led by Patrick Mäder and Jana Wäldchen. Further teachers are Michael Rzanny and Ladisalv Hodac.

The 2025 iDiv summer school will provide participants with a hands-on experience in applying latest deep learning and computer vision techniques to ecological and biodiversity studies. The participants will be introduced to the theoretical foundations of deep learning and its applications in ecological research. In addition, hands-on sessions will allow participants to deepen their understanding by working with real-world examples. These practical exercises will focus on using deep learning libraries, as well as building, training, and evaluating deep learning models for ecological tasks.

The summer school is aimed at MSc students and doctoral researchers. Participants from regions often underrepresented in science can apply for funding.
