The BFDG is an international and multi-disciplinary gathering of scientists interested in all aspects of appetite, eating and drinking (see ‘About the BFDG’ for further information and history). The annual conference welcomes a wide range of academic, clinical and industry-based scientists, including those working in psychology, physiology, medicine, nutrition, food science and related disciplines. The meeting provides an ideal platform for PhD students and early career researchers to showcase their work. For students with limited access to funding, hardship scholarships will be available to cover registration costs (see ‘Hardship scholarships and prizes’ section for more information).
This year, the meeting is being organised by members of the BFDG from the Nutrition and Behaviour Unit (University of Bristol) and from across the UK and the EU (see organising committee page for further details). We look forward to welcoming you for an exciting programme of short talks, keynote addresses and research posters.
Abstract submission will be online, with the option to select a preference for a short oral presentation or a poster. There will be an option to have the abstract published in the journal Appetite.
There will be a conference dinner at the Hotel du Vin Bristol Avon Gorge hotel on the evening of Thursday 24 April
