Yesterday the Linné project CAnMove (Centre for Animal Movement) celebrated its first 10 years with a conference for present and former CAnMovians.
Around 50 people listened to seminars in the Blue hall during the day. There were seminars about birds, immunology, fish, genetics, magnetoreceptions, flies and more. All on the theme migration and movement.
When CAnMove started 10 years ago, the intention was that the project would run until now – if it was successful. And it has been! Something that many experts in the field have testified.
The project’s coordinator Susanne Åkesson, yesterday, gave a presentation and summed up these 10 years. CAnMove has done a lot of things, created many collaborations, arranged numerous workshops, seminars and conferences. The researchers have reached out with their results and been mentioned in the news all over the world.
The money will last this year, what will happen in the future is up to the CAnMovians.
”Thank you for ten exciting years! It is time to move on”, Susanne concluded.
But the conference was not over with these words. After the talks, there was a poster session, a conference buffet and lots of time for discussions.
