Tim participant at closed ESRC Behaviour Change workshop

On Wednesday 11^th January, Tim was an invited participant at the final event of the ESRC Behaviour Change seminar series http://www1.uwe.ac.uk/bl/research/csbci/esrcseminarseries.aspx

The central purpose of the seminar was to discuss, in a closed forum of people working at the interface of academia and policy, the nature of the evidence-policy problem in the field of ‘behaviour change’ and possible ways of moving towards a solution that met the needs of policy whilst also representing the wide range of academic approaches that are now engaged in the field.

 

It is hoped that the workshop will result in a number of publications aimed at a variety of audiences.
