Research Speed Updating: Behaviour change

What is Speed Updating?

An informal opportunity to learn about research from University of Exeter academics, aiming to promote interdisciplinarity. Speed Updating provides:

• Interesting four-minute research talks with tea, coffee and cake.
• Opportunities to find out more about research across the University
• An opportunity to meet others interested in University research. It's primarily aimed at researchers or research-focused staff, but anyone is welcome to attend.

In 2013/14 we'll be theming sessions around broad areas of interest within the University. This session's theme is...

Behaviour Change

Changing human behaviour is desirable in many contexts, from reducing the amount of energy and water people use to increasing the amount of exercise they take. Different models of behaviour and types of interventions are used in different disciplines. What can we learn from each other about the most effective way to achieve long-term changes?

Join us to find out more about the University's research in this area, and to learn about the latest funding opportunities.
