This year marks the 50th anniversary of the start of Dr Jane Goodall DBE's ground-breaking chimpanzee research at Gombe Stream, Tanganyika (now Tanzania), and the beginning of a long tradition of primatological research at this site.

The Primate Society of Great Britain is proud to hold its two-day Winter Meeting, on 8th-9th December 2010, in celebration of the different types of research done at, or inspired by, Gombe, over the past 50 years, and looking forward to the future. We are still finalising our list of speakers for this event, but invited speakers include Dr Jane Goodall, DBE (Founder, the Jane Goodall Institute (http://www.janegoodall.org/), Tara Golshan (Executive Director, Education, the Jane Goodall Institute-UK (http://www.rootsandshoots.org/), as well as other key primatologists whose work has been influenced by Jane Goodall and Gombe Stream National Park. As in recent years, we plan to have a ticketed social evening at the end of the first day, allowing delegates and speakers a chance to network, as well as to catch up with old and new friends.
