Seminar Program

The theme of Nutrition Winter School 2020 is Diet & Microbes: Gut health for the brain and body. The seminar program is designed to cover this topic from different perspectives: from basic science to the latest advances in the field of gut health.

Maximum attendance for each workshop is 10. Places will be handed out on first-come-first-served basis so book your place early! You can register for the workshops in the seminar Registration form.
