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. Want to learn more? Find the slides here: osf.io/ca5fn/

Greetings from another the APRICOT full team meeting! We have some exciting things coming up soon, so do stay tuned!

🔖Want an easy way to code using the Behaviour Change Intervention Ontology? @hbcproject.bsky.social Use our data extraction template: osf.io/x6afp - Now updated with the newly published Population Ontology: wellcomeopenresearch.org/articles/10-... @divhealthpsych.bsky.social @ehps.bsky.social

🚨 Pre-print alert! 🚨 Excited to share the first version of the Intervention Population Ontology—a tool for describing the target group of an intervention. This work was led by the amazing Alison Wright! Check out the pre-print here: 🔗 buff.ly/0yALPXX #ontology #behaviouralScience

Greetings from the APRICOT Full Team Meeting. We have some exciting news coming your way, so stay tuned!

Interested in ontologies, but not sure if you could ever apply them in your own work? Do not miss this exciting editorial about the APRICOT project, which is all about usability and accessibility of ontologies! Read the editorial here: wellcomeopenresearch.org/articles/9-7...

Curious about what we have done so far? Wellcome Open Research has just organized all of the HBCP's publications within a gateway. Protip: If you hit the track button, you get a notification whenever a new publication is added to this gateway ;) More here: https://buff.ly/41HURDe

The first APRICOT publication is officially online! Have a look at this editorial to learn more about our aims and plans! You can read it here: wellcomeopenresearch.org/articles/9-7...
