 The IUNS Committee on Capacity Development in Nutrition has compiled a directory of eLearning courses suitable for the Continued Professional Development of Nutrition Scientists. The list features courses IUNS consider to be applicable to most early career nutritionists, but many of these providers have a wide range of other specialist training available on their websites.

The IUNS Committee on Capacity Development in Nutrition is providing a limited number of scholarships to selected IUNS Adhering Body members across the globe to attend some of these courses. Please see the individual courses providers for more information.
