Behaviour 2023

The opening ceremony starts on Monday August 14th at 8:30. From Tuesday to Saturday, each day will start at 9:00 and finish around dinnertime. There will be two plenary talks from Monday to Friday, one before and one after lunch and a last one on Saturday morning. The remainder of the days will be filled with talks in nine parallel sessions, including those that are part of symposia. There will be two evenings filled with poster sessions, on Tuesday and Thursday. In addition to the scientific talks, there are various social events, sport events and excursions taking place. The excursions will be held in the morning of Sunday August 20th.

This is the schedule for the Behaviour 2023 displaying the whole week. It is meant as a rough overview and might be subject to slight changes.

The full schedule is available as a Google Calendar. You can add it to your personal device using this link.

 

Some tips to make your personal schedule:

• As all events are in the calendar, we advise you to import the calendar on a laptop or PC, and remove all events you don’t want to attend to make it easier to view on a mobile device.
• Once you’re viewing the Google Calendar, you can go to ‘Schedule’ mode (top right) which makes it easier to see all the talks.
• You can import the Google Calendar to other platforms, like Outlook. 
• Some events are still subject to change and will be automatically synced.

You can find the programme booklet with additional useful information related to your travel to and stay here in Bielefeld, the conference venue and activities planned here.

Abstracts of the corresponding talks and posters can be found below.
