Do you want to spend a week in snowy Finland filled with scientific debates while deepening your knowledge in nutrition science? Nutrition Winter School 2023 is the proposal for you! You still have a chance to become one of the participants in this event, but there is not much time left.

7th Nutrition Winter School will happen the last week of January 2023! This meeting will be held in the town of Saariselkä in Lapland, Finland. The theme, „The Saga of the Gut,” will lead participants to understand the various roles of the gut in health and disease.

NuGO facilitates registration

European Organization of Nutrigenomics NuGO is a prestigious international association of universities and research institutes focusing on the joint development of the research areas of molecular nutrition, personalized nutrition, nutrigenomics and nutritional systems biology. Institute of Animal Reproduction and Food Research is part of NuGO and thus our employees have access to discounts for registration to NWS2023.

All PhD students and postdocs from NuGO member organizations have a chance to win one of 3 grants in the amount of 500 €, which covers part of the Early Bird registration fees at NWS2023.

What is Nutrition Winter School 2023?

The organizers of the Nutrition Winter School have set themselves the goal of bringing together the most talented scientists in the early stages of their careers and experienced educators from different backgrounds to exchange ideas and differing points of view. During NWS2023, numerous lectures and scientific sessions will inspire young scientists to do new research projects.

The program is designed to touch on intestinal health from different sides. The latest developments in the field of nutrition – from a molecular, experimental, and clinical point of view – will be presented. During the lectures, participants will learn how nutrients are absorbed and transported in the gastrointestinal tract, how the microbiome is formed, and whether the gut affects our immune and neurological systems. Scientists will also discuss the latest diagnostic advances that may already have clinical applications and consider the role of genes in healthy gut function. The whole program for the Nutrition Winter School 2023 you can find here.

During NWS2023, participants will have the opportunity to exchange views with world-renowned experts. Sessions will feature speakers such as: Prof. Magnus Simren from University of Gothenburg; Prof. Michael Müller from University of East Anglia; Prof. Michael Schemann from Technical University of Münich and many more.

NWS2023 is a unique opportunity for any scientist who wants to improve their competence in the field of nutritional sciences, and at the same time spend time in an extraordinary, picturesque place.
