WORKSHOP
EVOLUTIONARY 
BIOLOGY OF LEARNING
Different approaches to animal learning have seen a number of exciting advances in the last decades. The workshop will bring together people working in different fields related to animal learning, such as neurobiology, genetics, behavioural ecology, psychology and artificial intelligence. The aim is to promote exchange of ideas to discuss how research in those different fields contributes to our understanding of animal learning as a product of biological evolution.

Students from Swiss universities are welcome and do not need to register. Those from institutions associated with the 3ème cycle romand en sciences biologiques will receive reimbursement for travel and meal costs.
