📝Last week was inspiring for our #AVOBMAT project: three events showcased its potential for #DigitalHumanities! AVOBMAT is already used in 40 countries.
💻Vienna Hackathon within the PCPSce #COSTAction, explored databases e.g. on Ukrainian baroque poetry & the writings of F. von Hagedorn.

How do you talk about animals' emotions in educational contexts? How do people react when you ask how the animal feels about what is going on? And how do you get your message across teaching in different contexts?

Are you a researcher in animal behaviour, or a teacher who works with animals in class? Come join us at our Training School April 20-21, 2026 in Romania on talking about animal emotions in educational contexts! Details in flyer.

Flyer for a training school tilted "Co-learning through multiple perspectives: Communication about animal affect in educational contexts". Where:= University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Cluj-Napoca, Romania When: April 20-21 2026. Bulleted list with Interactive lectures, hands-on activities and workshops, networking opportunities, funded spaces for travel, stay and participation (limited number). Coordinators Alina Rusu, Helen Lewis, Rebecca Nordquist. Application Deadline Jan 23, 2026. More information and application affect.evo@gmail.com

As part of our work in the Affect-Evo COST action WG2, we are very pleased to organize a Two - day training school on communication about animal affect in educational contexts (Co-learning through multiple perspectives), in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, from Monday April 19, 2026 – Tuesday April 20, 2026.
We will have informative lectures on how to communicate on complex or sensitive topics with categories of persons involved in educational contexts, interactive lectures on insightful topics coming from various perspectives (ethology, philosophy, veterinary medicine, psychology, animal-assisted education) and hands-on activities to practice these skills. This TS will give you tools to take on or improve your communication skills, and help expand your scientific network in the field.

A limited number of funded spaces are available to attend this training school for participants with affiliations in COST countries, with a preference to young researchers (defined by COST as <40 years of age) and inclusiveness target country participants. Funding is based on COST rules for travel and daily allowances for Training Schools. Please note that you can only apply for reimbursement for costs which are not covered by another source (i.e. your travel cannot be reimbursed twice).

Application deadline January 23, 2026.

Alina S. Rusu (USAMV Cluj-Napoca, Romania, local organizer), Rebecca Nordquist (Utrecht University, the Netherlands) and Helen Lewis (Swansea University, UK)

I'm very excited about COST action Affect-Evo on animal affect, and equal parts excited and dauted to have taken on leadership of WG2, "Societal impacts of understanding animals’ affective states". Looking forward to working with social scientists, law scholars, and animal behaviour peeps.

We're still working on the website but have a logo. That means the project is official, right?
