The Konrad Lorenz Research Station cordially invites to a symposium ‘Frontiers in Behavioural Biology’, Sept. 24/25th 2010, Kleiner Festsaal, University of Vienna (Dr. Karl-Lueger Ring 1, 1010 Vienna, Austria).

AIM AND SCOPE:

Over the past decades, behavioural biology has developed rapidly and towards a stronger integration with other disciplines, such as physiology or psychology. This development is reflected by the work done at the Konrad Lorenz Forschungsstelle (KLF) since the passing of Konrad Lorenz, 20 years ago. In reflection of this period we will organize a special symposium in a rather unusual format. A number of top young KLF-associates were asked to invite one senior researcher of their choice from their respective field (Profs. Jan Komdeur, Jerram L. Brown, Bernd Heinrich, Ton Groothuis, Wolfgang Goymann). Their overview talks will be followed by the contributions of two KLF-associated researchers who will present examples of results from one of the five specific KLF research topics. Finally, five emerging “junior” scientists (Drs. Markus Öst, Bernhard Völkl, Amanda Seed, Aline Bertin, Molly Dickens), working in the fields in question, will present data from their area of expertise. Everybody, who registers (see below) for the symposium is invited to present a poster of her/his research. And don’t forget: Vienna is a wonderful city to visit in the fall.

REGISTRATION AND FEES:
We charge a fee of Euro 20.00 per person.
