We would like to invite you to attend the last in a series of four ESRC
funded seminars on the social and physical environment and obesity
jointly convened by researchers at Queen Mary and University College,
University of London.
We have four exciting speakers (details below) and there will be ample
time for debate and discussion on the day.
The seminars are free to attend and there are a limited number of travel
bursaries available for postgraduate researchers to attend.
However we do have a limited number of places so registration is
essential. Places are on a first-come first-served basis and a waiting
list will be in operation.
For further details of the seminar and a booking form please contact

Please circulate to colleagues, students and others with interests in

Abstract:
Combating the 'obesogenic' environment - policy solutions and priorities
Encouraging innovative debate over what potential policy solutions may
be available to reduce levels of obesity is desperately needed. This
seminar will invite key thinkers within economics, planning and public
health to propose what policy measures at the local, regional and
national level that can help stem the growing incidence of obesity.
This seminar will not only be aimed at academics but also undertaken
in such a way that policymakers, charities, think-tanks and
professionals in the health, nutrition, activity and planning fields
will be fully included in debate and discussion
Speakers
Mr Nick Cavill - Cavill Associates
Professor Eric Millstone - University of Sussex
Dr Hugh Barton - University of the West of England
Professor David Hunter, - Durham University
