Ethics of Animal Behaviour and Welfare Research for the 21st Century and Beyond


This meeting is being organised by Dr. Alan McElligott, Dr Elodie Briefer, Dr. Kate Flay, Dr. Xin Huo, Dr. Hannah Mumby, Dr. Matthew Parker, and Dr. Tamara Tadich.

This two-day workshop will be held online on the 21st and 22nd June 2022. All times are Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

The workshop will feature examples from across various fields that reflect upon the ethical and animal welfare dimensions of research. We also aim to examine some examples from animal and veterinary sciences that use human data (e.g. surveys of human attitudes, or human-animal interactions), in which human ethical oversight is a key concern. 

This workshop will be of interest to animal behaviour, conservation, and welfare scientists (at all career stages) as well as any researchers working with animals or collecting data related to animals. Whilst held online, there will be plenty of opportunities to network with speakers and other delegates.

If you feel that your interests lie in this area then please put the date in your diary. 

As with all ASAB meetings, researchers of any aspect of animal behaviour are very welcome to attend.
