Abstract

The aim of this Conference is to communicate up to date information obtained with scientific rigor and encouragement that could help the European citizens and consumers to manage a successful life and maintain healthy in all age periods. The knowledge of the members of our European Nutrition Societies and their friends will be activated for this ambitious goal probably not without intense scientific debates. In line with this goal of the FENS we put our conference under the Slogan 'Nutrition and health throughout life-cycle - Science for the European consumer'. We have planned three days of scientific presentations and debates organized as oral and poster communications which will center around 5 major topics: Food and nutrient intake; Advances in dietary studies, methodology and design; Metabolic diversity; Nutrition and chronic diseases; and Food science and consumer behaviour.
