EIT Food and Aarhus University joint conference and workshop 5-6 June
Understanding Consumer Choices and Experiences in Food
In this one-day workshop, participants will be acquainted with state-of-the art techniques for generating insights from an applied perspective. We will showcase techniques and examples of research that can help understand how consumers behave when it comes to food, and how these techniques can be used in the context of new product development and public policy measures aimed at furthering healthy and sustainable food choices.
The event takes place on 6 June at Aarhus University in Auditorium 1 (building 1441, room 012), and a welcome dinner is held on 5 June at 18:00 in Vandrehallen, Aarhus University.
