Making the most of ISBNPA2023

We are pleased to announce that the final scientific program for ISBNPA2023 is being added to the conference's app and abstract book.

Keep an eye on your inbox, as links to both resources will be released in the first days of June.

To make the most of your attendance at the conference, we recommend using these resources in conjunction with the informative ISBNPA webinar "How to make the most of your attendance at a conference." Get ready for an exciting and insightful ISBNPA2023!

Social Activities and Networking

ISBNPA2023 has an extensive and diverse social program and several networking opportunities.

You can:

1. Register for a basketball event with teenagers from the Världsklass (World Class) initiative at the Summer Zone, a current promotion site for physical activities in collaboration with Uppsala Municipality.

Join in on the games or come out to support and interact with the enthusiastic youngsters of this exciting initiative.
Bring your sports gear and consider giving it away to Världsklass

In addition to the aforementioned physical activities, we also offer [Walking Football, Combined Running and HIIT sessions], and various walking activities. If you haven't registered yet, please check your inbox for a newsletter sent last week containing the necessary registration forms. Alternatively, you can easily access the registration forms by downloading our app (to be released soon). Don't miss out on the opportunity to improve your fitness and wellbeing!

ISBNPA2023 has arranged some rooms and spaces at the conference venue to facilitate networking opportunities with your colleagues. To secure your booking, please download the conference app and complete the necessary forms. Please note that availability is limited, so act fast.

Satellite meeting, workshops and dare2share sessions

You can still register for a few [workshops] and the Implementation Science Short Course offered at ISBNPA2023's [Satellite Meeting].

Watch the videos below showcasing some of the dare2share sessions.

Carbon footprint to travel to ISBNPA2023

Knowing is the first step to action!

As part of our commitment to the [Climate Action Initiative], we asked all attendees of ISBNPA2023 to inform us about the CO2e emissions associated with their travel. From the 400 responses, we were able to estimated the total CO2e travel-related emissions invested by all 1300 attendees.

The total travel-related emissions were estimated at 5555 tonnes of CO2e. In 2022 humanity emitted 34 Billion tonnes. If we consider that this number will remain stable for 2023, we estimate that ISBNPA2023's travel emissions will account for about 0,000016% of the 2023 global emissions.

As we all are researchers, we present just a few more numbers - hoping to inform and not to cause any headache :-). On average, each of us invested about 56% of the per capita CO2e emissions in the country she/he lives in (e.g. by traveling from Portugal António Palmeira invested 4 tonnes of CO2e, and the average CO2e in Portugal is 6.1 tonnes of CO2e).

Please note that this is only a rough estimation and includes travel emissions alone. It is a first step towards our goal of developing an effective Carbon Footprint Management system that will help us Define -> Measure -> Reduce -> and Offset our carbon footprint.

We are committed to being at the forefront of climate action in scientific institutions and are confident that ISBNPA will lead the way in helping our research activities become carbon-neutral in the near future.

ISBNPA Strategic Plan - Impact (survey)

We're reaching out to you today with an opportunity to contribute to the ISBNPA Impact Strategic Project.

As a member of our community, you're perfectly positioned to help us develop a definition of research impact for ISBNPA, which will enable us to measure and improve the impact of the research conducted by our membership. It's a chance to shape the future impact of behavioral nutrition and physical activity research.

So, we invite you to share with us the definitions of research impact that are being used by your institution, research funders, and other relevant agencies in your country/region. Once you have found these definitions, please complete a short form that will capture information on how research impact is being defined globally.

To access the form, simply click on this link: [https://aut.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_000Relwseo30CsS]

Completing the form is quick and easy, and your contribution will be invaluable to our project. Please complete a separate form for each source that you have found. We'd also like to acknowledge your contribution in any future publication, so please provide your Title, Name, Institution, and Email Address when completing the form (optional).

The form will be open for submissions until Friday June 23, 2023.

Thank you so much for your support and assistance with this project. We appreciate your contribution to our community and your commitment to advancing the field of behavioral nutrition and physical activity research.

Kind regards
