Belgian Nutrition Society
Belgium, as other countries, faces a number of important public health problems rooted in nutrition. An effective public health policy can only be in place if it can be structurally underpinned by consolidated action based on scientific evidence. In order to achieve this, an efficient mobilization of the existing nutrition expertise is an absolute necessity.
Therefore it was deemed opportune to create a Belgium structure that offers a forum for the multidisciplinary group of scientists in the field of human nutrition and related domains.
Since September 2007, a small group, comprising members of various key scientific institutions in Belgium has met regularly to prepare a blueprint of the structure and statutes of a nutrition society and to determine its main objectives.
The official inauguration of the Belgian Nutrition Society will take place on the 18th of December in Brussels (Palace of Academies).
Registration and participation is free. If you like to attend this meeting, confirm your attendance to info@belgiannutritionsociety.be.
