We are thrilled to invite you to Behaviour 2025, the 38th International Ethological Congress, in Kolkata, India! Since its inception in 1952, this congress has been a hub for ethologists to connect and advance the field. Behaviour 2025 will celebrate the diversity of ethological research, showcasing multidisciplinary studies, innovative methodologies, and an array of model systems.

India’s rich biodiversity and its vibrant, growing community of behaviour researchers make it an ideal setting for this event. By hosting the congress in the Global South, we hope to inspire meaningful conversations and foster lasting connections among researchers at all career stages.

See you at Behaviour 2025!
