Summer School
A one-week summer school on “Animal Navigation” was established in 2002 and has become an annual event. The goal is to introduce students from Australia and New Zealand to a fascinating and rapidly developing multi-disciplinary research field. The Summer School is aimed at 3rd year, honours and PhD students of biology, psychology and robotics. If you would like to enrol for the summer school please send:
- A covering letter explaining why you are interested in Animal Navigation and a brief description of the research project you are currently working on or which you are planning to do in future. Please indicate in the letter whether you would need travel assistance.
- Your CV, including your transcript.
- One brief letter of reference.
