The 42nd Congress of the International Society for Applied Ethology will be held at University College Dublin, Ireland from 5-9 August 2008. Our aim is to make the congress dynamic with a new approach to workshops that will facilitate the exchange of ideas between participants as well as the plenary, oral and poster programmes.

The social programme will include a spectacular Gala dinner at historic Trinity College in the heart of Dublin city, as well as a Welcome and Farewell Reception. A variety of excursions are being planned including an opportunity to attend the world famous Dublin Horse Show, Dublin Zoo and ancient Celtic sites such as the Newgrange Megalithic Passage Tomb.

We look forward to welcoming you to Dublin!

Alison Hanlon, Laura Boyle and Niamh O'Connell
