We are excited to announce Bringing the World into the Lab, a cross-disciplinary research community meeting exploring innovative approaches to studying animals in the lab in more naturalistic and ecologically relevant settings. The program brings together researchers from behavioural neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and immunology, working with different species (rodents, fish, birds). Join us for a lively exchange of ideas on how enriching laboratory environments and embracing complexity can reveal deeper insights.
Embedded Files
The Research Community “Organisms in their Enviroment” links scientists across the Netherlands studying the interactions between organisms and their environment and provides them a common platform. The research community provides sollicited and unsollicited advice to the NWO Table Life sciences and the board of the NWO Science domain on NWO policy. NWO provides administrative services for the research community.
Join the research community by registering at the bottom of this page at the NWO website.
