Anthrozoology as International Practice (AIP) is a conference for students (and prospective students/research students) interested in the study of human encounters with other animals.

We aim is to bring together like-minded individuals with the goal of promoting and empowering the next generation of researchers and educators.

Senior academics and professionals are very welcome to join, and we encourage you to join and support your students and aspiring scholars.

The AIP Working Group are graduates of the Anthrozoology programs at Exeter and embrace the Exeter Anthrozoology as Symbiotic Ethics (EASE) ethos (see the EASE philosophy here). Our interpretation of the EASE ethos is as follows.

We believe that any research involving more-than-human animals:

· must provide some benefit to individual participants

· should not cause emotional or physical harm as a result of participation

· offer individual autonomy to individuals of all participants

· should attempt to represent the viewpoints of all participating species

The conference aims to select presentations that align with the conference ethos of non-harm, respect, and individual autonomy of animals. However, some of our presenters will be very early in their academic careers, so we ask all participants to be mindful of this and supportive in their comments and provide constructive feedback.
