Aims
The Committee of European Societies for Behavioural Biology (CESBB) was established in August 2004 as an umbrella organization for behavioural biologists across Europe with the following key aims:
-
To promote communication and interaction within behavioural biology across European countries on issues that relate to research and teaching in the subject, in particular by overseeing the organization of the biennial European Conference on Behavioural Biology (ECBB).
-
To provide opinion and information to assist the formulation of public policy and funding at the European level as it affects the study of behaviour, by informing and engaging the European behavioural community with regard to the development of any new or revised EU regulations or initiatives at an early stage of their formulation, and ensuring that the views of the European behavioural societies are fully expressed and incorporated in them.
-
To provide opinion and information, and promote debate, about ethical and legislative issues surrounding the study of behaviour, and to ensure regulations or initiatives are constructive and workable by keeping a watching brief on new or revised EU regulations and initiatives relevant to the study of behaviour across Europe.
