The XXIII meeting of the International
Bioacoustics Council (IBAC) will be held in the city of La
Rochelle, France, from 12-16 September 2011 at
the Aquarium.
The objective of IBAC meeting is to
promote international participation throughout the entire field of bioacoustical
activity. The subject of bioacoustics is principally a marriage between
the fields of biology and physical acoustics. Given its multidisciplinary
nature, IBAC aims to bring together, in informal settings, biologists
from different specialisms (ethologists, physiologists, taxonomists,
etc) with engineers, sound archivists and amateur sound recordists,
to foster discussion and exchange of ideas.
NEW ! The rules of the IBAC will be discussed
during the conference, on friday 16th september (GAM): you can read
the current rules, and the proposal for new rules here.
The scientific program will be composed
of sessions of invited speakers integrated with thematic symposia, non-thematic
sessions, and poster presentations.
Scientific Program new!
