Programme in our external seminar for autumn 2019

Our group hosts a seminar for a wide network of researchers interested in topics related to behaviour change, health and wellbeing.

This allows for an exchange of ideas on topics, and we welcome external speakers to share their work with us. Meetings are informal, and we welcome presentations of completed work, work in progress, and work being planned, as well as of conceptual and methodological issues related to behavior change, health and well-being.

We are pleased to announce the speakers and dates for our upcoming meetings. Looking forward to a great bunch of talks & discussions!
