| Abstract: The European Association for Behaviour Analysis (EABA) is an international organisation that aims to promote the philosophy of radical behaviourism and its basic and applied sciences across Europe, and to provide an international forum within Europe for the study and discussion of matters relevant to behaviour analysis. One of the main functions of EABA is to organize conferences in conceptual, experimental and applied behaviour analysis. At present these are held every two years, with the next conference to be held in charming W?rzburg, Germany, September 19 - 22, 2018. Our 2016 conference in Enna, Sicily drew delegates from 37 countries across the globe. Our conferences are low-cost and provide an intimate, supportive atmosphere for scholarly exchange and development. The EABA also organises a bi-annual summer seminar, with lectures and courses by accomplished scholars in conceptual, experimental and applied behaviour analysis. Our next summer seminar will occur in lovely C?diz, on the southwestern coast of Spain, from 5 until 8 July, 2017. The European Association for Behaviour Analysis is a Behavior Analyst Certification Board-Approved provider of continuing education credits. We encourage all behaviourists to contribute to, enjoy and profit from our ongoing scientific and educational events. |
