Second annual workshop of the Association of Early‐Career Social Learning Researchers in St Andrews, Scotland

The Second Annual Workshop of the Association of Early-Career Social Learning Researchers was held at the University of St Andrews in Scotland on June 21–22, 2018. St Andrews has a strong and diverse community of social learning and cultural evolution researchers, which made it an ideal place for this year's workshop. The workshop included two keynotes, six activities, a senior researchers' panel discussion, and an open-door poster session. Thirty-seven researchers (Masters, PhDs, and Postdocs), from 9 European countries and 21 institutions attended to the 2-day meeting (Figure 1). The audience represented a diverse scientific background including anthropology, archeology, evolution and ecology, ethology, linguistics, neuroscience, and psychology. The primary intentions of this workshop were (1) to foster interdisciplinary discussions on the state of social learning research, new techniques, and methodologies, (2) to create an environment to exchange on earlycareer issues and (3) provide a platform for cross-disciplinary networking and research showcasing.
