Members of the GLOBE project participated at the "24th International Conference on Bear Research and Management" organized by the International Association for Bear Research & Management (http://www.bearbiology.com/) in Anchorage, Alaska, on 12-16 June 2016. Bear physiology and human-bear coexistence were among the main focus of the conference. Researchers of the GLOBE team had the opportunity to present results of the research conducted within the project, gave 5 oral presentations and presented 4 posters, they took part in numerous inspiring discussions during and after the conference, and what is equally important, had the opportunity for extraordinary meetings with Alaskan bears (and not only!).
