Aims of the seminar series
The aim of the series is threefold:
- To improve communication of behaviour change research evidence to policy makers - The series aims to provide a platform for improved dialogue between researchers and policy makers with the aim of establishing links for ongoing collaboration and a strategic research agenda across a range of behavioural problems.
- To synthesise evidence and formulate innovative policy options - By providing a forum for debate around evidence for behaviour change, this seminar series aims to encourage policy makers and their advisors to engage with a broad range of thinking about how to change behaviour from a range of research disciplines.
- To encourage interdisciplinary collaboration between researchers - The series will provide a structured forum for the purposefully varied researchers to progress an interdisciplinary research agenda, and to debate a range of issues.
