XXII SPE CONFERENCE

We are pleased to announce the 22nd Congress of the Portuguese Ethological Society, taking place on October 30–31, 2025, at the University of Algarve (Penha Campus), in sunny southern Portugal.

This year’s congress is jointly organized by the Portuguese Ethological Society, the Centre of Marine Sciences (CCMAR) of the University of Algarve, and the FishEthoGroup Association.

The congress will bring together researchers, scholars, and professionals working in the field of ethology, providing a platform for the presentation of cutting-edge research, scientific exchange, and networking. From aquatic to terrestrial species, from behaviour to welfare, the event aims to foster a multidisciplinary and collaborative scientific community, including plenary talks, oral presentations, posters exhibition, and opportunities for academic exchange and collaboration.

We look forward to welcoming the scientific community to Faro for two days of engaging presentations, insightful dialogue and knowledge sharing.
