ECHOSYSTEM 2027 – An International Symposium on Acoustic Ecology
ECHOSYSTEM 2027 will bring together researchers, conservation practitioners, technologists, students, and policymakers to explore the role of acoustic ecology in biodiversity monitoring, ecological research, and conservation.
Organised by the CV Raman Laboratory of Ecological Informatics, Kerala University of Digital Sciences Innovation and Technology [Digital University Kerala], and nestled in a biodiversity hotspot in Kerala, India, the symposium combines scientific exchange with immersive field experiences.
Highlights
- Keynote and expert talks
- Hands-on workshops and field demonstrations
- Passive acoustic monitoring and soundscape recording
- Acoustic data analysis and AI-assisted workflows
- Participant presentations and discussions
