The second Animal Consciousness Conference aims to take a step towards the development of such a program. Its topic will be "How to Study and Understand Non-Human Consciousness" and its main task is to advance as far as possible in answering the question what approaches, experiments, and tests are needed and possible today for the scientific exploration of non-human consciousness. The term “non-human consciousness" appears in the title of the conference because the tasks of identifying and studying potential consciousness in different animal species and in artificial systems faces today a set of similar problems and these two areas can fertilize each other. To this end, the conference will bring together not only experts in the field of animal consciousness, but also in the field of artificial intelligence. The format of the conference will include both talks with proposals on how to study and understand non-human consciousness, and also work in interdisciplinary breakout groups. They will discuss theoretical, behavioral and neuroscientific approaches to the study of consciousness and will report their proposals at the summing-up general sessions. The conference will be considered a success if it produces a noticeable shift in empirical approaches to the study of non-human consciousness.
