WELCOME

It is our pleasure to welcome you to Utrecht, The Netherlands, for the 58th Congress of the International Society for Applied Ethology! From 4 to 8 August 2025, we hope to see you in our beautiful old city, that is the home of the only Veterinary Faculty in The Netherlands, at Utrecht University!

The overall theme is ‘Towards a good life for all animals’ and the program will host an exciting mix of plenary speakers, oral presentations, workshops and poster sessions.

The congress will take place at the Utrecht Science Park, while the hotels and social program will allow us to explore the beautiful Utrecht City Centre and interesting animal behaviour locations elsewhere in the Netherlands.

We look forward to welcoming you to Utrecht in August 2025!

Prof. Bas Rodenburg
Chair of the Organising Committee
