Excellent Research on Animal Navigation
NaviSense – the international Cluster of Excellence for the Sensory Basis, Mechanisms, and Impacts of Animal Navigation is an interdisciplinary research project hosted at the University of Oldenburg.
The scientists of NaviSense aim to provide a thorough, interdisciplinary understanding of the mechanisms used by animals to navigate, and how these mechanisms can inspire technology and impact society, ecology, and biodiversity.
NaviSense is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) from 2026 to 2032 as part of the Excellence Strategy of the German federal and state governments.
