Foodomics?: Why we eat what we eat and what's new on the menu

Diet and nutrition are a global obsession. The effect of food on health is well-documented but still dietary
factors are associated with four of the ten leading causes of death in Western society* and the crisis of
hunger and malnutrition in the developing world shows no sign of abating.
19 June 2007
Leading researchers, thought leaders and industry experts will consider a number of issues at the June
Horizon seminar, including how food habits are formed, how we can ensure we make smart choices about
food, how existing problems associated with poor nutrition can be solved and emerging health issues
addressed and what future advances can be expected. The seminar will take place at the
Centre for Mathematical Sciences, Cambridge.
 Energy in Cities: ‘What Does The Future Hold?’

Energy is essential to every aspect of our economic and social well-being. Today, the world faces two big
challenges: climate change and the security of energy supplies. Cities and regions have both a responsibility
10 October 2007 to reduce their carbon emissions and the opportunity to take advantage of new energy-efficient systems and
renewable energy. At this Horizon Seminar, leading experts will describe their ground-breaking research in
energy use in built environments, clean and efficient urban transport and renewable energy generation in
cities. Please note that this event will be held at
Buckingham House, New Hall, Cambridge.
