Call for presentations - FALL SYMPOSIUM Centre of Expertise Social Sciences Health and Well-being

When:We 01-11-2023 12:00 - 17:00
Where:to be announced

Health and well-being are focal areas of research at the University of Groningen. At the Faculty of Behavioural and Social Sciences there is considerable expertise on these topics and a lot of potential for fruitful collaborations between researchers and students. The aim of this annual symposium of the Social Sciences Centre for Health and Well-being is to bring together researchers, PhD and (research) master students who share an interest in healthy ageing, health and well-being from the perspective of the behavioural and social sciences. The symposium serves to inform each other about ongoing work at the faculty, explore opportunities for future collaborations and joint funding proposals, and contribute to the creation of an active Health and Well-Being research community within our Faculty and beyond.

Format

The symposium starts with a walk-in lunch from 12:00-12:30 hrs, followed by a keynote by a recent PhD graduate of the faculty. Researchers from different research groups within the Faculty of Behavioural and Social Sciences will then present their ongoing research projects on one of three research themes:

1. Health interventions and policy development

2. Healthy Ageing

3. Health in social context

Presentations will be short (approximately 10-20 min) to allow for a substantial amount of time for discussions.

Interested?

Please mark the date in your agenda! If you have a current research project related to one of the three themes of the Social Science Centre for Health and Well-Being that you would like to present at the symposium you are kindly asked to send a title, author names, and abstract (maximum of 150 words) to cesshw@rug.nl by 30 September 2023.

We welcome contributions from all researchers, PhD- and (research) master students.
