Concept Network Meeting IESM 2015
The IESM is an international, interdisciplinary conference for equine scientists. The conference aims to advance the dialogue between scientists in the field of psychology, biology, agriculture, and veterinary medicine. All sessions are accompanied by round table discussions.
Contributions on fundamental research in the area of equine cognition, social behaviour, communication and ecology are particularly welcome. This year’s conference will have a special session on “non invasive monitoring” and “housing systems” for equines. With this session we aim to present a broad overview of the research on equine welfare in different housing systems and discuss its practical implementations.
Conference Language: English
