About the conference

This year’s European Human Behaviour and Evolution Association (EHBEA) Conference, hosted at Northumbria University in the historic Newcastle-Upon-Tyne from April 14-17, will bring together scholars in human behaviour and evolution research.
 

EHBEA has a special focus on interdisciplinary approaches, bridging evolutionary research with social, cultural, comparative, and biological perspectives to advance our understanding of human behaviour. Key themes include (but are not limited to) cognition, cooperation, competition, culture, health, language, mate choice, methods in the behavioural sciences, reproduction, and social learning (view past conferences here).
 

EHBEA 2025 will foster inclusive and thought-provoking academic exchange, with sessions designed to accommodate a broad cross-disciplinary audience and a wide array of presentations in the form of symposia, talks, poster presentations, and plenaries. Whether you are presenting or simply attending, you will have the opportunity to network with peers from across Europe and beyond.  The conference will conclude with a celebratory gala dinner on Thursday evening, hosted at a beautiful independent Art gallery, The Biscuit Factory.
