Finding the right amount and sort of support for people in enhancing their wellbeing and good health is at the heart of the current restructuring of the social and health field. During this seminar we will tie ongoing research by the CEACG to topical societal questions in a procession of snapshot presentations. Themes include gambling policy, alcohol marketing and the societal use of brain-based knowledge on addiction. The seminar ends at 4 pm with a toast to new projects and colleagues.
Time: 25th May 2018, 13.00–16.00 (reception 16-17)
Place: Room 210, 2nd floor, Snellmaninkatu 12, the Swedish School of Social Science
