Kent Business School’s Dr Diogo Souza-Monteiro was invited to provide a speech at the Joint Research Unit GAEL (Grenoble Applied Economics Laboratory), a combined laboratory of INRA (the French National Institute for Agricultural Research) and of the University Pierre Mendès in Grenoble 2, France, who conduct research in the areas of agriculture, consumption and environment.
On Thursday 8th September, 2011, Dr Diogo Souza-Monteiro, Lecturer of Marketing at the University of Kents’ Kent Business School provided an academic presentation on the paper “Conveying Nutritional Information with New Technologies: An Exploratory Study”, co-authored with Dr. Ben Lowe, Senior Lecturer in Marketing at Kent Business School and Professor Iain Fraser, Professor of Agri-Environmental Economics at the School of Economics, both University of Kent. This paper contributes to the ongoing debate over private and public policies to tackle the global obesity epidemic.
The talk was very well accepted and the audience provided great insights and comments. After the presentation several members of GAEL – UMR approached Dr. Souza Monteiro to discuss opportunities for future work.

I recently read your blog post from September 15, 2011, about Dr. Diogo Souza-Monteiro’s seminar at the Joint Research Unit GAEL. I wanted to express my appreciation for sharing this insightful update on Dr. Souza-Monteiro’s academic presentation.
The talk on “Conveying Nutritional Information with New Technologies” sounds like a significant contribution to the discussion on tackling the global obesity epidemic. It’s great to hear that Dr. Souza-Monteiro’s presentation was well-received and that it led to productive discussions about future research opportunities.
To further highlight this valuable academic exchange and bring attention to the important research being conducted, I will be sharing your blog post on A2Bookmarks Latvia, a top social bookmarking website in Latvia. This platform will help to showcase Dr. Souza-Monteiro’s work to a broader audience interested in research and advancements in agricultural, consumption, and environmental economics. Additionally, I will use A2Bookmarks Latvia again to ensure the continued visibility of this noteworthy event.
Thank you for keeping us informed about these significant academic achievements. It’s encouraging to see such impactful research being shared on an international stage.
