We are delighted to welcome you to Behaviour 2025, the 38th International Ethological Congress. Since 1952, the IECs have brought together ethologists from around the world, evolving into a diverse and inclusive forum that celebrates the breadth of research in our field. This conference is especially meaningful for students and researchers from the Global South, offering a vital opportunity to engage with the global ethological community, connect with leading experts, share their own insights, and contribute to the future of the field. We are excited to foster these connections and to see the new collaborations and ideas that will emerge.

We look forward to welcoming you in August 2025.
