The Walks & Talks provides a retreat for PhD students and early postdocs to give presentations related to their research followed by walks in the countryside. The event is specifically geared to encourage discussion of ideas, problems, and potential solutions in an informal environment, with the support of experienced group leaders and an internationally renowned invited scientist. The Walks & Talks are held annually during the spring term with the location changing each year. They are open to all students of applied ethology and animal welfare (PhD or postdoc) from institutions within Switzerland.
Journal/Book Clubs are organised regularly to discuss relevant topics and new research.
Statistics Seminars are held periodically to cover both theoretical and practical statistical questions.
