The society provides a forum for an exchange of scientific knowledge and views to all its members from various branches of science involved in the study of behaviour. Views from different professional backgrounds can enrich our understanding. The aim of the society is to advance behavioural science in basic and applied ethology, encourage research and other contributions to knowledge relating to behaviour but also to behavioural problems in the farm, companion and free-living animals, and to promote communication of this knowledge.

FOOD-FRENZ is a co-ordinated collaboration project between the EU and New Zealand with two key objectives:
(1) To strengthen relationships between consumers, knowledge providers and industry in the EU and NZ; and
(2) To develop best practice for delivery and production of safe, sustainable, traceable and high quality food in the EU and NZ. Much more detail about the FOOD-FRENZ project, its aims, objectives and the key themes driving it can be found at the following link: http://www.foodfrenz.com
As part of the FOOD-FRENZ project we will be awarding twenty expenses paid fellowships to New Zealand for EU researchers from industry and research-based organisations. These study visits represent a unique opportunity for researchers to work alongside and build strong collaborative links for future research, with their New Zealand host. The hosts represent all of the New Zealand Crown Research Institutes, some of the countries leading universities in this field, together with one of the leading multinational dairy companies. We invite you to click on the link below to discover more information about the study visits and encourage you to consider this opportunity for both the development of your researchers and also as a means of building strong collaborative links for future research. http://www.foodfrenz.com/act3.htm

Press Release Regarding Call for Proposals
The American Association of Human-Animal Bond Veterinarians (AAH-ABV) and WALTHAM are collaborating on a research program exploring the nature of the human-animal bond. These organizations are issuing a call for proposals for investigations into areas of human-animal interaction that either have not been explored or that need further examination. These sponsoring organizations are particularly interested in questions regarding the impact of pets on the physical well-being of children (e.g. immunity, allergy, obesity), how pets affect the quality of life of elderly people, or how culture impacts the human-animal bond. Proposals must be submitted by September 1, 2007.
The AAH-ABV provides education, resources and support that enhance the ability of veterinarians to create positive and ethical relationships among people, animals, and their environment . The WALTHAM Centre for Pet Nutrition is a state-of-the-art pet care facility in the United Kingdom dedicated to progressing the health and welfare of pets worldwide. WALTHAM is the research behind all Mars Inc. Pet Care brands such as Royal Canin, Pedigree and Whiskas– see www.waltham.com .
For more information about the call for proposals and for an application form, go to the AAH-ABV website, http://www.aahabv.org .
