Registration is now available for the 2021 Centers for the Human-Animal Bond Conference<\/a> hosted by the Purdue University Center for the Human-Animal Bond. The virtual conference scheduled for November 4-5 will bring together a diverse set of national and international academic human-animal interaction centers and institutes for a global, interdisciplinary conversation focused on advancement in this field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Centers for the Human-Animal Bond (CHAB) Conference first was hosted in 2006, and in 2016 a 10-year follow-up conference continued the conversation. Both of these previous conferences resulted in special issues in peer-reviewed journals (2008 in JVME<\/a> and 2018 in HAIB<\/a>), and this year\u2019s conference will seek to continue this legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2021 CHAB Conference will provide a critical opportunity to bring together a diverse set of national and international academic Human-Animal Interaction centers and institutes. When discussing the significance of the conference, Purdue Veterinary Medicine Associate Professor of Human-Animal Interaction Maggie O\u2019Haire stated, \u201cThe conference will serve as a platform for interdisciplinary conversation with substantial opportunities for the exchange and discussion of new ideas for future research on animal assisted interventions and additional dimensions of the human-animal bond\u201d.\u00a0 Dr. O\u2019Haire went on to say that the periodic and structured dialogue and coordination by multi-disciplinary and geographically diverse human-animal interaction centers are critical to accelerating the advancement of the field and collaboration across disciplines, leading to further understanding of the physiological, psychological, and cultural implications of the human-animal bond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first day of the conference is free and open to the public and will include a plenary speaker and panel discussion in the morning, a \u201clunch and learn\u201d with center directors during the lunch hour, followed by another panel discussion and plenary speaker in the afternoon.  During the lunch and learn, representatives from world-class centers and institutions from around the globe will provide an overview of their organization and the work they are accomplishing. Registration for November 4 is currently available.

The second day of the conference will consist of closed sessions for invited leaders in the field of human-animal interaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conference is able to offer a day with free registration open to the public thanks to generous sponsorships from the Human-Animal Bond Research Institute (HABRI)<\/a> and Mars Petcare<\/a>. Additional support for the conference is provided by the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine\u2019s Center for the Human-Animal Bond<\/a> and the University\u2019s Office of the Provost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
