| I am a senior scientist at the Department Animal Science, Aarhus University, where my research in animal behaviour and welfare includes behavioural needs, play behaviour, exploratory behaviour, social behaviour and maternal behavior. I have been an ISAE member for more than 20 years and my first ISAE Congress was Edinburgh 1991. I am currently a member of council serving as Senior Editor, and I served as Regional Nordic Secretary from 2005 to 2010. I have chaired organization of Regional ISAE meetings, and I now chair the Local Organising Committee for ISAE 2017. |
| I am a senior scientist at Aarhus University, Department of Animal Science, researching animal behaviour, stress and welfare. I have a special interest in stress responses, including the link to abnormal behaviour (stereotypies, fur-chewing), effects on brain level and influence of genetic selection on fearfulness and exploration. A major research topic is on enhancing early young survival in farm mink. I have worked mainly with farm mink, pigs, and horses. I have been member of the ISAE for approximately 20 years. |
| I am Professor at the department of Animal Science, Aarhus University, where my research in animal behavior and animal welfare currently focus on understanding the timebudgets of dairy cows and the use of automatic recordings of behaviour as a tool for on-farm surveillance and assessment of welfare. I have been a member of ISAE for more than 25 years and was also participating in organizing the last ISAE conference held in Denmark in 1994. I am head of the research group Behaviour and stressbiology at the department and am also part of The Animal Ethics Council under the Ministry of Environment and food of Denmark and the EU Cost-Action DairyCare. |
| I am a senior scientist at the Department Animal Science, Aarhus University, where my research in animal behaviour and welfare focuses on pain, disease and consequences of exposure to stressors such as animal transport in pigs and cattle. I have been an ISAE member for almost 20 years and my first ISAE Congress was Prague 1997. I am currently a member of the board of the Special Interest Group for Animal Pain under another society, the IASP, and part of my mission is to link biomedical, veterinary and animal science research within the study of pain, which is central to animal welfare. |

I am a senior scientist at the Department of Animal Science, Aarhus University. In my research I have worked with a range of ethological issues, including coping strategies, maternal behaviour in pigs, human-animal interactions in husbandry animals, behaviour tests, housing and grouping of horses, housing of chickens and tail biting in pigs. Lately, I have also introduced the use of ethological methodology to the study of how therapy animals affect humans. I have been a member of the ISAE for more than 20 years and I attended my first ISAE congress in Denmark in 1994. I enjoy organizing next year’s Congress in Aarhus and look forward to see all of you there.

| I am a senior scientist at the Department of Animal Science, Aarhus University. My research has focused on the biological as well as ethological requirements of sows and their ability to adapt to the production environment. Special emphasis has been on the effect of the environment on the development of expedient social behavioural patterns, oestrus and maternal behaviour. The objective of my research is to increase the knowledge of how to design production environments for adult animals promoting behavioural patterns that consider the welfare of the animals as well as production and reproduction. Since 2002 I have mainly carried out research into the relations between maternal abilities and early piglet mortality with special emphasis on lactating sows kept in loose housing systems. I have been a member of the ISAE for more than 20 years. |
| I am a senior consultant at the Danish Centre for Food and Agriculture, Aarhus University, working with knowledge transfer to companies and organizations in agriculture and the food sector. My function also includes a number of duties with regards to research-based public-sector services carried out by DCA. |
