About the IUNS International Congress of Nutrition

Every four years, since 1946, the IUNS organises the International Union of Nutritional Sciences International Congress of Nutrition (IUNS-ICN) in a venue selected by the General Assembly following presentations by 3-4 bidding countries.

The aim of each IUNS-ICN is to promote the exchange of knowledge in Nutritional Sciences.

The scientific programme is comprised of plenary lectures, keynote lectures, parallel symposia, sponsored symposia, and satellite symposia.

The Congresses are attended by 3000-4000 participants from all over the world. Recent locations include Buenos Aires, Argentina; Granada, Spain; and Bangkok, Thailand, to name just a few.

The most recent was the 22nd IUNS-ICN which was titled THE POWER OF NUTRITION: FOR THE SMILES OF 10 BILLION PEOPLE and took place in Tokyo, Japan from December 6 -11, 2022.
