Invitation
The tenth anniversary of the Food Choice Conference series brings this unique multidisciplinary forum to a leading university centre of nutrition and food science research in The Netherlands. Through keynote lectures, symposia, open sessions of short talks, and poster presentations, participants will discuss the latest developments in research on cognitive, social, cultural, economic, interpersonal, psychological and sensory determinants of the selection and intake of foods and drinks, and its consequences for health and wellbeing.

CONFERENCE INFORMATION
Participants
Conference participants come from academic and health care settings, food industries and government agencies around the world. The Conference will include a broad spectrum of internationally recognized experts in the food choice area.

Location
Wageningen, a small university town, is situated in the centre of the Netherlands about 80 km south-east of Amsterdam. Wageningen houses not only Wageningen University (WU) , formerly known as Wageningen Agricultural University, but also the institutes belonging to the former Agricultural Research Department (DLO). WU and DLO joined forces four years ago as the Wageningen University and Research Centre (www.wau.nl).
The conference will be held at the Wageningen International Conference Centre (WICC), located in Wageningen (www.wicc.nl). The WICC can be reached from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport by train and bus/taxi in less than two hours.

Conference format
The five plenary sessions (numbered 1 - 5) will take approximately 1.5 hours each. These will each be opened by a guest lecture (30 min.), followed by 3-5 10 min. oral presentations and discussion. Symposia/workshops (numbered I - X) will be run in parallel fashion across five 90 min time slots. Participants are invited to propose additional topics for which a broad audience may be expected. This can result in additional symposia. Each symposium consists of an introductory lecture in which the core questions are clearly spelled out, followed by 3-5 10 min. oral presentations (this is valid for the symposia as lisetd and for eventual additional topics). All posters will be displayed from Sunday afternoon through Tuesday evening.

Tour to the National Park 'de Hoge Veluwe'/Kröller-Müller museum
On Tuesday 2 July an excursion will be organised to the Kröller-Müller Art Museum, which is world-famous for its Van Gogh art collection and for works by Seurat, Redon, Braque, Picasso, Juan Gris and Mondriaan. The museum grounds feature Europe’s largest sculpture garden, with works by Hepworth, Rodin, Marini, Paolozzi, Moore and others. For this excursion a fee will be charged.
