New directions in nutrition research, ageing clocks in metabolic disorders, and precision approaches such as digital twins in health and disease – these are just some of the topics that will be explored by experts from leading research institutions across Europe and worldwide, who will gather in Olsztyn at the end of August 2026.
The InLife Institute of Animal Reproduction and Food Research of the Polish Academy of Scienceswill host one of the most important events in the field of nutrigenomics – NuGO Week 2026, organized for the first time in Poland.
From 31 August to 2 September, Olsztyn will become a meeting point for leading scientists investigating the complex relationships between diet, the genome, and human health.
NuGO Week 2026 will be followed by the scientific conference “Nutrigenomics for Lifelong Health”, organized within the framework of the WELCOME2 project. This event will extend the NuGO programme with additional days of in-depth scientific discussion and presentation of the latest research findings.
NuGO Week 2026 – Key Research Topics
NuGO Week is a recurring conference organized by the NuGO Association, bringing together experts from top research centres across Europe and beyond.
This year’s programme will address, among others, the following topics:
- emerging directions in life-course nutrition research,
- nutrigenomics in health and disease,
- microbiome dynamics in healthy ageing,
- ageing clocks in metabolic disorders,
- precision nutrition and digital twins in health and disease.
The event will include plenary lectures, specialized scientific sessions, and presentations of cutting-edge research conducted within international collaborations.
“Nutrigenomics for Lifelong Health” – WELCOME2 Scientific Conference
The international conference “Nutrigenomics for Lifelong Health”, taking place from 2 to 4 September, has been designed as an extension and deepening of selected topics addressed during NuGO Week.
The programme includes four main scientific sessions:
- modelling health, ageing, and disease,
- biochemistry of ageing,
- nutrigenomics and disease prevention,
- immunocompetence and ageing.
These sessions focus on molecular and systemic mechanisms underlying health and ageing, with particular emphasis on the role of nutrition and the interactions between the genome and the environment.
The conference will bring together renowned scientists and research leaders in the field of nutrigenomics and health sciences. It will also provide a valuable opportunity for in-depth scientific discussions and the development of new research collaborations.
Participation in the “Nutrigenomics for Lifelong Health” conference is free of charge.
Call for Abstracts
Researchers whose work aligns with the conference topics are invited to participate in both events. The call for abstracts is currently open, with the possibility to apply for oral presentations or poster sessions.
This is an opportunity to present research results to an international audience and to contribute to ongoing scientific discussions on the role of nutrition in human health.
The organization of NuGO Week 2026 and the “Nutrigenomics for Lifelong Health” conference represents an important element of InLife’s efforts to internationalize research and strengthen the Institute’s position within the European scientific landscape. These events provide a shared platform for knowledge exchange, presentation of research outcomes, and the initiation of new scientific projects in nutrigenomics and health sciences.
