Outline of Final Research Achievements	The Systems Science of Biological Navigation (International Activity Support Group) promoted international research activities by holding international competitions on navigation analysis methods, inviting young researchers to travel abroad, and inviting distinguished researchers to Japan. Specifically, with animal and human trajectory datasets made public, we held competitions on algorithms to understand behaviors from the trajectories. The winners of these competitions were invited to international symposiums and conferences hosted by this project, providing opportunities for young researchers and students to interact with each other. This exchange led to the establishment of a new international collaborative research network. In addition, tutorials and workshops were held at several international conferences to discuss the research of this group with overseas researchers.
