ABOUT
The Canine Science Conference returns Oct 7-9th, 2022
After the success of the first and second Canine Science Conference previously held in AZ, we are going ahead with a return to the conference, but in a different location: Central New York state is beautiful in October.
​
For a decade now, European scientists have gathered every second year to share the latest findings in canine science of all kinds at the Canine Science Forum. This year, for the third time, we will organize a similar event in North America. There is great demand among behavioral ecologists, psychologists, ethologists, geneticists, archeologists, veterinary behaviorists, anthrozoologists, anthropologists, physiologists, anatomists and other scientists in North America for an opportunity to come together and share our latest findings.
​
Presentations at the Canine Science Conference 2022 will consist of a mix of plenary keynote speakers, contributed research talks, and posters on current issues in canine science. We anticipate 200 delegates.
Target Audience: Scientists, scholars, students and professionals working in fields relevant to canids, such as animal welfare, behavior, ethology, psychology, sociology, neuroscience, anthropology, aging, physiology, and veterinary medicine.

Posters need to fit on boards which are 4' high and 8' wide.
That is about 1.2 m x 2.4 m.
TALKS
Regular oral presentations are scheduled as 15-minute presentations, but please plan your actual presentation to be completed in 12 minutes; allowing time to answer questions as these make the sessions much more interactive. Time limits will be strictly enforced. Presenters should arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the start of the session and introduce themselves to the chairperson of the session.

LOCATION INFORMATION
GETTING HERE
Hamilton, NY is a small town in rural Central New York. Life is a bit different here, so we hope you are ready for a new experience! Things you may be used to in big cities (or even medium sized cities!) are not a thing here. For example, we don’t have ubers, uber eats, or zip cars. Luckily, we can walk almost anywhere! And most restaurants do takeout.
Getting here:
​
The two biggest nearby airports are in Ithaca, NY (two hours away) and in Syracuse, NY (an hour away). If you fly into Ithaca, you will have to rent a car, and drive to Hamilton. If you fly into Syracuse, you can schedule a Colgate shuttle to come get you and bring you to Hamilton (https://www.colgate.edu/about/campus-services-and-resources/demand-shuttle-service) or you can rent a car and drive down to Hamilton. You can also fly into NYC, and take the AMTRAK into Utica (about a 4-6 hr train ride—and BEAUTIFUL in October). You will have to rent a car and drive from Utica to Hamilton (about 35 mins) or you can schedule the Colgate shuttle (same link as above) to come get you.
