We are pleased to invite proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the upcoming Behaviour 2025 conference. Workshops are a fantastic opportunity to share expertise, facilitate hands-on learning, and foster collaboration across diverse fields related to animal behaviour. We are seeking engaging, innovative, and interactive workshops that will enrich the conference experience for our attendees.

Categories of Workshops

• Pre-Conference Workshops: These workshops will take place on 23rd and 24th of August 2025, allowing participants to dive deeply into focused topics and enhance their skills.
• During-Conference Workshops: Scheduled alongside the conference sessions, these workshops are ideal for fostering interactive discussions and skill-building while engaging with the broader conference themes.
• Post-Conference Workshops: Held after the main event on 30th of August 2025, these sessions provide a relaxed environment for follow-up discussions, extended hands-on training, or field-based activities.
