2012 doctoral workshop: intercultural comparisons on eating habits and preferences

For the 2nd edition of the European workshop held on February 16 and 17 in Ecully, France, the Institut Paul Bocuse Research Center chose to cover the theme of intercultural comparisons on eating habits and preferences.

Ten international PhD students (coming from Canada, South Korea, Denmark, Brazil…) presented their works and exchanged on different scientific approaches and the methodological stakes of group comparisons.

Several professionals from the agro-food industry also joined the group. The workshop was highlighted by appearances by Giada Danesi (Institut Paul Bocuse/EHESS/GL Events), Hal MacFie (Hal MacFie Services) and Hubert Roth (CRNH Grenoble) and presented methodological tutorials on the use of video for research.
