We are hosting a Workshop on “Behavioural Science and Sustainable Food Consumption” that will take place in Dublin, Ireland, on Wednesday, October 26th, 1pm to 5pm. We are thankful for funding from the Royal Society of Edinburgh and Environmental Policy at UCD.
The aim of the workshop is to bring together behavioural scientists who work on sustainable food consumption. The workshop will offer opportunities to present our research on the topic, to explore opportunities for future joint projects, and to reflect on the state of behavioural research in this area more generally.
This is a hybrid event that will take place on Zoom and in the Red Room of the UCD Student Center which is next to the UCD gym and pool.
