UB 2019
Here is a glance of Understanding Behaviour 2019 which took place between 11-13th January at IISER Kolkata. The key concept of Understanding Behaviour 2019 was to showcase cutting-edge behavioural research across disciplines, not limited to the confines of animal behaviour alone. This conference provided a platform to share knowledge and serve to establish networks between the participants, promoting exchange of ideas and future collaborations.
UB 2019 was hosted by Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Kolkata , which is a premiere teaching and research institute, founded by the Government of India. The flagship program of the institute is a 5-year dual degree BS-MS program that continues to attract some of the brightest students of the country. The sprawling green campus is home to a large number of birds and butterflies and is buzzing with activities all day. The campus is away from the bustle of the city but can be reached in 60-90 minutes from the airport, depending on the time of day.
