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.
