Mexico City – The Faculty of Medicine at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) will host the 1st Congress in Human Nutrition Science from March 23rd to 25th, 2026. This inaugural event aims to strengthen and showcase scientific perform in the field of nutrition, bringing together researchers and practitioners from various disciplines.
The congress represents a significant step in promoting collaboration and knowledge sharing within the nutrition community. Organizers emphasize the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, encompassing biosciences, social sciences, humanities, and clinical nutrition. The event is designed to not only update attendees on the latest advancements but also to foster networks that extend beyond the conference itself.
A Multidisciplinary Approach to Nutrition
The 1st Congress in Human Nutrition Science will feature a diverse program including talks, presentations, and activities covering a broad spectrum of nutritional science. According to the event website, the congress will address key areas within the discipline, including biociences, social sciences and humanities, and clinical nutritional practices. Researchers will have the opportunity to present their work through poster presentations and oral expositions, facilitating the exchange of ideas and experiences.
Registration for the congress is now open. Participants can register for the full congress, individual workshops, or a combined package. The UNAM Online Store is the designated platform for registration payments, and attendees are required to download their payment confirmation. Separate registration is required for workshops, and those presenting research are asked to submit their work for consideration. More information about the registration process can be found here.
