Scientific program
The 2009 ethological conference will focus on the integrative potential of ethology and the whole organization of the conference will be based on Tinbergen’s four questions.
Because of its integrative aspect, ethology overlaps other scientific fields and a large part of the conference will be devoted to debating present and future
cross-disciplinary approaches.
