Collective Behaviour Field Course at KRC

For the past two years, the KRC has hosted the Collective Behaviour Field Course, a program organised and funded by the Centre for the Advanced Study of Collective Behaviour at the University of Konstanz, Germany. This immersive course brings South African master’s students to the KRC, exposing them to cutting-edge research and the latest tools in behavioural ecology, animal communication, and collective behaviour. Students gain hands-on experience in data collection, analysis, and interpretation, by planning and executing short research projects on the diverse Kalahari fauna. This unique program aims to: Cultivate the next generation of scientists. Inspire and equip young researchers to pursue careers in behavioural ecology. Foster and strengthen ties between German and South African scientific communities as well as promote equitable and collaborative science. Learn more in this press article and video.
