The Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour (ASAB) supports two-day meetings focused on a specific theme at the interface between animal behaviour and other disciplines or research areas. Workshops promote the exchange of ideas, methods, and results across disciplinary boundaries. Topics may connect animal behaviour with physics, engineering, genetics, psychology, or anthropology, or address welfare, experimental design, statistical analysis, conservation, and environmental impacts.
Workshops combine invited plenary lectures and selected contributions, with opportunities for structured discussions or round-table sessions. ASAB’s Grants Committee selects proposals competitively, prioritising scientific excellence, timeliness, interdisciplinarity, and equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility (EDIA). The programme expects diverse speakers and attendees and accessible venues and timing.
