Faculty & Programme

The theme of the Congress is “CLINICAL NUTRITION CHALLENGES: EVIDENCE VS PRACTICE”, which will address relevant clinical challenges, and translate the evidence-base into sound clinical practice.

Various topics will be covered in plenaries, symposia and workshops, and will include a wide array of topical and novel emerging themes. Proposed themes (to be finalized) include aspects of immunonutrition, gastrointestinal disease (including IBS), oncology nutrition, metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus, pre-and probiotics, nutrition in critical care, intestinal failure, permissive feeding, inflammation, aspects of glucose control, ethics and concepts of evidence-based nutrition.

Both International and National Faculty will share their expertise in the various plenaries and symposia.
