The Ethological Society meets once a year for its Annual Meeting, which typically takes place during the second week of February. The meeting is organised by members of our community<\/strong> and is usually hosted in Germany, Switzerland or Austria. Every other year, the Society\u2019s General Assembly is held in conjunction with the Annual Meeting. Members who are interested in organising a future meeting are warmly encouraged to get in touch with the President.<\/p>\n The Council is pleased to offer practical support<\/strong> throughout the process in the form of tips and suggestions<\/a> designed to help organisers avoid reinventing the wheel. Council members remain approachable and available throughout, so organisers can seek advice at any stage. Organising a meeting can be highly rewarding, as it provides hosts with the opportunity to shape the scientific focus and to contribute substantially to the Society\u2019s activities. A list of previous EthoGes, our Annual Meetings, and ECBB, the European Conference for Behavioural Biology co founded by the Society, can be found\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Below you will find a list of international meetings that are likely to be of interest to those studying Behavioural Biology.
