On Tuesday February 19 researchers from Cambridge, Ghent and the EMGO Institute came together in Amsterdam for a one-day meeting. This has grown into a yearly event, and this week was the fourth time these research groups met.
The three groups are interested in and have research programs on behavioural nutrition and physical activity research. The annual meetings were organised because of great similarities in research interests and ongoing studies.
During the morning program presentations by Sanne de Vries and Nannah Tak from the EMGO Institute, Kirstin Corder from Cambridge, and Leen Haerens and Benedicte Deforche from Ghent gave presentations on ongoing research on compliance to physical activity recommendations among youth and effects of school-based interventions to promote healthful behaviours among children and adolescents.
In the afternoon, research leaders from the three groups, Nick Wareham, Willem van Mechelen and Ilse de Bourdeaudhuij provided short introductions to inform discussions in smaller groups about future collaborations in research on measurement of physical activity, dietary behaviours and potential determinants, environmental determinants of physical activity and diet, computer-tailored health promotion.
