The biennial meeting of the International Ethological Congress is open to all who are interested in ethology, animal behavior and related disciplines. The IEC is the only international gathering for those studying all aspects of animal behavior. The coverage of the field at IEC conferences is always broad, with papers ranging from neurobiology and neurochemistry to applied animal ethology and behavioral evolution. The IEC emphasizes integration of the field of animal behavior across all animal groups and all levels of analysis rather than promoting one particular point of view or methodology. It seeks to integrate pure and applied ethology, field and laboratory orientations, theoretical and empirical approaches and to bring together those working in other subdisciplines, such as ornithology, herpetology, mammalogy, entomology, primatology, physical anthropology. The conference also makes an effort to bring in ideas from related fields that can broaden and strengthen the study of behavior. It is particularly important that young scientists be exposed to this perspective and to the intellectual stimulation that this conference provides. They need to establish professional contacts with leaders in their field from around the world. As interactions in many fields increase, this opportunity for international dialogue between young scientists of different countries should also not be overlooked. Because these young scientists are often financially limited, NSF support that would partially defray the costs of this conference will greatly enhance their participation in the conference and allow them to reap the professional and intellectual rewards of that experience.

国际动物行为学大会每两年举行一次，向所有对动物行为学、动物行为学和相关学科感兴趣的人开放。IEC是研究动物行为各个方面的唯一国际聚会。IEC会议的领域覆盖面总是很广，论文从神经生物学和神经化学到应用动物行为学和行为进化。IEC强调将动物行为领域整合到所有动物群体和所有层次的分析中，而不是推广一种特定的观点或方法。它旨在整合纯粹和应用动物行为学，野外和实验室方向，理论和经验方法，并汇集那些在其他分支学科，如鸟类学，爬虫学，哺乳动物学，昆虫学，灵长类动物学，体质人类学工作。会议还努力从相关领域引入可以扩大和加强行为研究的想法。 特别重要的是，青年科学家要接触到这一观点，并接受这次会议提供的智力刺激。他们需要与来自世界各地的领导者建立专业联系。随着许多领域的互动增加，各国青年科学家之间进行国际对话的机会也不应被忽视。由于这些年轻的科学家往往是财政有限的，NSF的支持，将部分支付本次会议的费用将大大提高他们在会议的参与，并使他们能够获得专业和智力的经验奖励。
