SUMMARY:Aarhus Comprehensive Computational Entomology Summer School (ACCESS) 2026
DESCRIPTION:Objectives of the course:  \nThis course is aimed at a growing cohort of postgraduate data scientists and biologists who use automated methods to study insects (and other arthropods) in their research. Participants will be introduced to the state-of-the-art when it comes to automated monitoring of insects\, including various modes of image acquisition\, their strengths and weaknesses\, approaches to image annotation and data management\, and models to automatically extract biological information from sensor-derived media such as images and sounds. \n Learning outcomes and competences: \nAt the end of the course\, the student should be able to: \n\nPlan and communicate a project using automated monitoring to address important questions in entomology.\nSelect appropriate automated monitoring methods based on strengths\, weaknesses\, and data requirements.\nDesign a data acquisition program using autonomous sensors\, especially cameras\, with special attention to hardware design\, deployment\, and scheduling.\nGenerate labeled datasets for analysis or model training using strategic manual annotation.\nManage data appropriately with reference to metadata standards.\nTrain models to detect\, classify or characterize insects in images.\nDeploy open-source models to achieve research goals\, with careful consideration of domain shifts and model uncertainty.\n\n Course parameters: \nLanguage: English \nLevel of course: Postgraduate \nTime of year: September 14th-18th 2026 \nNo. of contact hours/hours in total incl. preparation\, assignment(s) or the like: 37/67 \nCapacity limits: 20 participants \nCourse fee: No fee\, applications competitive \n  \nCompulsory programme: \n  \nCourse contents: \nParticipants will achieve their learning outcomes through a combination of case-based learning\, delivered in the form of guest lectures and workshops from international experts\, and project-based learning with a focus on presentation and interaction with peers. Participants will be strategically arranged into teams (based on complementary interests) before the summer school\, and will carry out up to 30h of preparation before they travel to the venue. During the summer school they will co-develop research projects\, which they will iteratively present to their peers and receive constructive feedback. Finally\, participants’ experiences will be grounded in reality through multiple hardware demonstrations\, especially under field conditions\, in the Mols Bjerge National Park. \n  \nPrerequisites: \nNone \n  \nName of lecturer[s]: \nJamie Alison\, Quentin Geissmann\, Toke Høye\, Jarrett Blair\, Guillaume Mougeot\, Emily Bick\, James Crall\, Hjalte Mann\, Luca Pegoraro\, Jennifer Lawson \n  \nType of course/teaching methods: \nLectures\, workshops\, field demonstrations\, group work \n  \nLiterature: \nNone \n  \nCourse homepage: \nhttps://darsa.info/ACCESS-2026/ \n  \nCourse assessment: \nSuccess is determined based on a final project proposal document and a presentation of the proposal \n  \nSpecial comments on this course: \nThe course provides free accommodation\, food and travel for the selected competitive candidates. In 2026 the course is funded by the InsectAI EU COST Action. \n  \nTime: \nSeptember 14th to September 18th\, 2026 \n  \nPlace: \nKaløvig Center \n  \nCourse fee: \nNo fee\, applications competitive \n  \nRegistration: \nTo complete your application\, please fill out the application form by April 15th\, 2026. https://darsa.info/ACCESS-2026/ \nIf you have any questions\, please contact Jamie Alison: jalison@ecos.au.dk \n  \n Disclaimer:DDSA has explicit permission from Arcanic and the owners of the https://phdcourses.dk/ website to display the courses on ddsa.dk.
