ASAB’s Easter meeting is aimed at postgraduate students and postdocs but is open to anyone interested in animal behaviour. The postgraduate workshop will cover topics vital to all scientists, from how journals work and how to publish your research to working with the media, ethics and how to manage your supervisor. As always, there will be plenty of opportunity for relaxed discussions with the pub quiz (pub food included!) on Wednesday and conference social & Tympath (ceilidh/folk dancing) on Thursday evening on Constitution Hill, sea-view included!The conference is being organised by Dr Rupert Marshall, Dr Sarah Dalesman and Dr Roger Santer of the Aquatic, Behavioural and Evolutionary Biology research group ABEB.

Behaviour2017 will gather international professionals, academia members and students from all fields of behavior research, such as behavioural ecology, neuroethology, behavioural endocrinology, behavioural genomics, animal cognition, evolutionary biology, Human ethology, applied ethology, conservation ethology, animal welfare, modelling and many others. The conference program will offer an opening keynote address from Fran de Waal and five invited plenary talks from distinguished researchers covering topics such as the comparative study of emotions, behavioural genomics, animal cognition, Evo-devo of behavioural adaptations, and modeling behavior evolution. There will also be a program of symposia, selected from a call for symposia that will be launched in due time, that will span the entire range of behaviour research and that will help advance and foster scientific research, education and training, and applications. Finally the program will also include sessions of contributed talks and posters, which will enable all delegates to present their work and to have the opportunity to discuss the most recent developments in their research fields. ...
