SNFS organises international scientific conferences on current topics in nutrition and food science that bring together scientists from both disciplines with experts from adjoining fields.
Past conference co-organised by SNFS:
4th Congress Hidden Hunger
Hidden hunger and the transformation of food systems: How to combat the double burden of malnutrition?
From February 27 to March 1, 2019, the 4th Congress Hidden Hunger took place at the University of Hohenheim in Stuttgart, Germany. The topic of hidden hunger with reference to the worldwide problem of overweight as well as the global nutritional situation were discussed from the perspectives of governmental and non-governmental organizations, politicians, economists, nutritionists and agricultural scientists. Various disciplines and scientists from high- and low-income countries from allover the world were brought together to focus on the links and gaps between science and reality in all parts of the world. The biennial global meeting of members belonging to the scientific community, representatives from politics, government and the media as well as members of civil society organizations, advocacy groups and private and public sector bodies, was organized by the University of Hohenheim together with SNFS.
Three young researchers were awarded the SNFS Best Poster Prize. Two of the awardees received their award certificate from SNFS President Prof. Frank during the congress (see photo below).
SNFS enjoyed being able to offer its members a complete registration fee waiver for the participation in the congress (see here for further membership benefits).
