Apply for the CV4E-SA Workshop 2027 at AIMS South Africa, 22–26 February, to learn AI and Computer Vision Methods for Ecological Research – Deadline: 13 November 2026.
Overview
The Computer Vision for Ecology in South Africa Workshop 2027 provides practical training in artificial intelligence and computer vision methods for ecological research, wildlife monitoring, and conservation. Organised in collaboration with the Computer Vision Methods for Ecology initiative, the programme adapts computational training to the research realities of scientists working in Africa. Participants explore how modern techniques help analyse large collections of images, videos, and audio recordings. The in-person event takes place at the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Muizenberg, South Africa.
Who can apply
Applicants must be South African citizens and residents who are currently based in South Africa. Additionally, participants must be able to attend the workshop without requiring a visa, as organisers cannot accept applications from individuals needing a visa due to related constraints. Researchers in ecology, wildlife conservation, biodiversity, environmental science, or related fields whose work involves collecting or analysing large datasets may find the programme relevant.
What you get
Attendees receive practical, hands-on training focused on applying computer vision and artificial intelligence to ecological data. The curriculum covers the processing of visual materials and ecological audio datasets, helping researchers identify patterns, process information more efficiently, and support species and ecosystem monitoring.
How to apply
Candidates must submit their applications through the official application link. Applicants should review the application requirements, confirm eligibility, and ensure they can attend the workshop in Muizenberg on the specified dates without needing a visa.
Key dates
The application deadline is 13 November 2026. The workshop is scheduled to take place from 22 to 26 February 2027.
