In this workshop, we will learn how researchers collect data on the distribution and migration of birds.
In this workshop, we will learn about the different ways seeds are dispersed.
We’ll find out how plants know when it’s time to grow and flower, and how they survive in the challenging mountain environment.
Careful observation in nature reveals footprints, droppings, feeding marks, scratches or rubs, hair, shed skins and feathers, paths, dens, and resting sites. These traces allow us to identify…
GPS tracking devices make it possible to follow the movements of animals in the wild. They provide valuable data on migration patterns, feeding grounds, and behavioural habits.
Thermal imaging cameras offer a means of studying animal behaviour, daily and nightly activity rhythms, and habitat use, particularly in areas that are otherwise difficult to access. The…
The recognition and study of animal sounds are essential for understanding communication, behaviour, and ecology. By analysing call frequencies, researchers can identify specific patterns and extract vital information…
Using call playback techniques helps researchers study animal behaviour, habitat size, and population trends. This approach contributes both to a better ecological understanding of species and to more…
Some animals are capable of producing and emitting light, while others reflect and amplify it to improve their orientation in the environment. Studying these abilities provides insights into…
At the NIB Open Day, we will explore the world of molds, mycotoxins, and food safety through a photography exhibition, hands-on experiments, microscopic observations, and photography.
High-stem meadow orchards are true treasure troves of life. Visitors will be able to discover the diversity of life’s rhythms in the orchard and the surrounding forest through a variety of exploration stations at the “In the Orchard” Interpretation Centre and at information points throughout the orchard. At the exploration stations, experts and researchers will present nine different fascinating topics, inviting visitors to learn through hands-on experiments, conversations and direct observation. An engaging combination of practical activities and encounters with experts will offer visitors an opportunity to discover the hidden world of the orchard and forest and to experience nature in an interactive and inspiring way.
