Meeting information
The XXII meeting of the International Bioacoustics Council (IBAC) will be held Monday September 14 until Friday September 18 at the Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian.
Following the tradition established over 35 years ago, the IBAC meeting fosters interactions among scientists interested in the factors that regulate sound production in animals. Moreover, IBAC meetings aim to bring together, in informal settings, biologists from different specialists (ethologists, physiologists, taxonomists, etc) with engineers, sound archivists and amateur sound recordists, to foster discussion and exchange of ideas.
The scientific program will be composed of sessions of invited speakers integrated with contributed short talks and poster presentations.
