Definitions for health, maintenance of homeostasis, how to measure benefits, methods to define causalities

Insights to food characterisation
Characterisation of complex foods, concepts in bioavailability, interactions of bioactive compounds

Markers or endpoints for health
Opportunities in non-clinical end-points, non-reductionistic approaches to markers, novel technologies

Targeting and testing benefits
Approaches to target individuals, specific consumer groups or population nutrition

Benefit communications
Drivers of consumer choice, understanding and acceptance of innovations, influencing consumer behaviour, measurements of success post-market

The final programme will be available in March 2011.

This symposium is the third in the series of ILSI Europe Functional Foods symposia. The previous events were organised in Paris 2001 and Malta 2007, where more than 300 experts took part in discussion on international developments on science and health claims.

The overall objective of this event is to review and debate recent advances in substantiation of health benefits of foods, covering establishment but also the communication of innovative nutrition science.

Who should attend?

The multidisciplinary meeting will be of interest to food scientists, food technologists, nutritionists, dieticians, consumer scientists, product developers and regulators from industry, academia and government involved in health, innovation, safety and quality of functional foods.
