🚀 APRICOT Project at @ehps2025.bsky.social! 🌍

📸 A packed room, vibrant discussions, and rich exchanges at our symposium:
“Making ontologies useful and usable for behaviour change research”, chaired by Prof. Susan Michie.

Grateful to all speakers, contributors & attendees!

🔔 New Version Alert🔔

Our paper “An ontological framework for organising and describing behaviours: The Human Behaviour Ontology” has been updated following peer review and is now available on Wellcome Open Research!

Hello from the APRICOT Full Team Meeting! 🌏 We’re deep in discussion and planning some exciting things. 👀
Stay tuned, exciting updates are coming your way soon!

📢 New preprint: We've mapped the Theory and Techniques Tool onto the Behaviour Change Intervention Ontology. This brings clarity to intervention design, enables precise BCT-MoA integration, and supports computational modeling. Read more: lnkd.in/gQpgbtv4

Today, we had the honour of giving a pre-conference workshop on applying the Behaviour Change Techniques Ontology for selecting and specifying behaviour change techniques as part of the @ucl-cbc.bsky.social Behaviour Change Conference 2025.

Big news! We're evolving: HBCP is now HBCP & APRICOT.

Good news – we have a 5-year NIH grant to expand the Behaviour Change Intervention Ontology and make it more useful and useable.
