Visa

Visa regulations depend on your nationality and country of origin. We suggest you contact your local Swedish Embassy or Consulate for official instructions on the specific visa regulations and application procedures that may apply to you. It is the responsibility of the participant to obtain a visa if required.

Invitation letter

An official personalized invitation letter will be provided to registered participants as part of the registration procedure. This invitation is prepared solely for the purpose of visa applications and is not a commitment on the part of the organizers to provide any financial support or confirmation of inclusion in the Scientific Program. Invitation letters are only provided electronically.

Weather

The average temperature in Gothenburg in June for a typical day ranges from a high of 18°C (64°F) to a low of 12°C (53°F). Some would describe it as mildly cool with a gentle breeze. For comparison, the hottest month in Gothenburg, July, has days with highs of 20°C (68°F) and lows of 14°C (57°F). There might also be a small chance of rain. With that in mind, most people would dress in something moderately warm like a sweater.

Dr. Jurado-Fasoli

Dr. Jurado-Fasoli is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physiology at the University of Granada, Spain, and a researcher at the Sport and Health University Research Institute (iMUDS). He holds a PhD in Biomedicine from the University ofGranada and is a Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist. His research focuses on human physiology, nutrition, dietary supplementation, and exercise, particularly in relation to metabolic health and performance. He has authored more than 80 peer-reviewed scientific papers, many in top-quartile journals, and has received several distinctions, including the Best Doctoral Thesis Award (2023–2024) from the Spanish Society of Physiological Sciences. Dr. Jurado-Fasoli has conducted research stays in leading institutions such as Yale University, Leiden University Medical Center, and Chalmers University of Technology, and has active collaborations with international research groups. His work aims to advance precision nutrition strategies for improving health and physical performance.

Prof. Eric Robinson

Eric is a Professor of Psychology & Public Health at the University of Liverpool, UK. His research examines how food policy can be used to improve population diet and reduce obesity. His work has directly informed and evaluated national dietary policy, as well as being recognised by the World Obesity Federation (Outstanding New Faculty Member, 2016) and leading national, European and international scientific societies (2010-2024).

Dr. Mark Hopkins

Dr. Mark Hopkins is an Associate Professor of Nutritional Physiology and an UKRI Future Leaders Fellow within the School of Food Science & Nutrition, University of Leeds, UK. His work aims to link whole-body metabolism and psychological function with human behavior to gain a better understanding of how eating behavior is shaped by our physiology, and how these relationships are altered under differing conditions of energy balance. In particular, he is interested in 1) the relationships between body composition, energy expenditure and appetite control, 2) the role of fat-free mass and resting metabolic rate on the control of appetite, 3) the impact of exercise on appetite control, and 4) the biological and behavioral compensatory mechanisms that resist diet and exercise-induced weight loss.
Mark has published extensively in the areas of human appetite, energy balance and obesity, with >100 peer-reviewed research articles, a Scopus H-index of 35 (Google Scholar = 42), and >3900 Scopus citations (Google Scholar >6600). He has successfully obtained £4.9 million in research funding, including £2.4 million as PI (UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship; Wellcome) and £2.5 million as Co-I (National Institute for Health Research; White Rose University Consortium). He has authored two expert position statements on exercise and appetite control for the British Association of Sport & Exercise Sciences (the professional body for sport and exercise sciences in the UK) and is an author on the recent American College of Sports Medicine’s consensus statement on Physical Activity and Excess Body Weight and Adiposity for Adults. He is the Network Lead for the Association for the Study of Obesity Yorkshire Region, and a steering committee member for the BBSRC ORIC Research Hub, INFORM, and the Movement and Physical Activity Interdisciplinary Research Network at the University of Leeds, UK.
