Understanding the early development of food preferences and eating behaviour in children

October 18-19th, 2012 - Dijon-France, Centre des Sciences du Goût et de l'Alimentation

Organization: Sophie Nicklaus & the Opaline steering committee (S. Issanchou, P.Schlich, S. Monnery-Patris,
C. Lange, C. Laval) with the help of VITAGORA

The aim of this workshop is to exchange views, ideas and data about the development of food preferences and eating behaviour in children. This will be the opportunity to present results from the OPALINE study which was conducted in Dijon, and to cross views with results from other research works. The programme will include a list of invited speakers and is also open to presentations, in the form of short oral presentation (15 min) or of poster presentations. Presentations may be related, but not exclusively, to the following topics:

• Experiential and environmental factors of early eating
• Role of chemosensory reactivity in orientating eating behaviour
• Parent-child interaction : role of educative practices
• Early determinants of children's food preferences and eating behaviour

Abstracts should be sent to congres.opaline@vitagora.com, no later than August 31st, 2012. Decision about presentations will be sent back on September, 15th, 2012.
