On May 2, 2018 IMC is hosting a half-day workshop on animal cognition that will explore how mental capacities of non-human animals are reflected in behavior. David Eilam from Tel Aviv University is a prize-winning international expert in animal behavior, who will be visiting IMC during week 18. Together with several Danish experts from the fields of behavioral biology, zoology and animal science, David will be discussing multiple perspectives on animal cognition. Everyone is welcome to participate.
