European Bat Detector Workshops
Field training in practical bat detector work


The European Bat Detector Workshop has traditionally be organized in connection to the European Bat Research Symposium. However, from 2011 there is no practice that the symposium organizers also organize the workshop.
 The aim of the workshops is to get field training in practical bat work. This includes the use of various detectors, and capture techniques.

Also other Pan-European workshops are included on this web page.
