The countries that form part of the Schengen Area are often referred to as Schengen countries. When traveling within Schengen countries, citizens only require to show their identity. However, a valid passport is required for a number of other transactions, such as currency exchange, purchases, etc.

Sweden, as a member of the Schengen Area, has abolished controls on common internal territories, at air and sea borders and allows citizens of member Countries to travel without a visa for a short stay of up to three (3) months. However, keep in mind that airlines and other carriers require a valid passport and / or ID.

European citizens coming from countries that are part of the Schengen Area are not subject to a visa requirement. Citizens of countries that are not part of the Schengen Area will need to obtain a visa to enter Sweden. EU visitors from these countries have the opportunity to receive more information from their local Swedish Embassy or Consulates or from their travel agencies. Before visiting Sweden, make sure to consult the Schengen Visa website for Sweden or the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs for more information.

It is the participant’s responsibility to issue a visa, if required. Individuals who need a formal letter to facilitate their visa application process can contact the Congress PCO CONVIN at delegates-2024@eapdcongress.com

A letter of invitation for visa application does not financially oblige the Congress Organizers in any way.

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.
