Time: 15:00

Lecture class of the Botanical Garden, 38 Lai Street

Description
Lecture and demonstrations by Tiina Randlane and Andres Saag.
Biodiversity can be promoted by attractive practical activity – identification of organisms. This is carried out using modern tools – digital interactive keys which can be web-based or offline as well as work in a smartphone. The project “Digital wizards in your pocket and computer” develops such digital keys and helps to use them for studying Estonian nature  and identifying organisms.

Organizer:
Department of Botany of the University of Tartu (the Institute of Ecology and Earth Sciences) in cooperation with the Natural History Museum and the Botanical Garden.
