Announcement: Summer Institute in Human Ethology
The International Society for Human Ethology is sponsoring a summer workshop in Prague, from the 5th to the 9th of July, scheduled just after the end of the Human Behavior and Evolution Society Conference in France. Here is some text from the advertising materials for the workshop:
ISHE, together with Charles University, will sponsor a 2011 Summer Institute in Human Ethology. Previous ISHE summer institutes were held in Andechs, Germany (2007) and Maine, U.S.A. (2009). ISHE Summer Institutes have been developed to be more student-friendly than most scientific conferences, and include generous financial support for student participants. The 2011 program will include invited speakers, student-oriented workshops, a poster session, and other presentations.
The 2011 meeting will be held 5 July (Tuesday p.m.) through 9 July (Saturday) in the central area of Prague. It is scheduled shortly after the 2011 HBES Conference (Montpelier, France, 29 June – 3 July) to allow more travelers to attend both meetings.
Prague is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic. Situated on the scenic Vltava River, Prague is home to many famous cultural, architectural and historical attractions. These combine to make the city one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe. The extensive historic center of Prague is on the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.
This should be a fun and educational meeting for all, so we hope you’ll be able to set aside a week in July to attend this meeting and enjoy one of the great cities of Europe.
