The Potsdam Summer School of
International Nutrition, which focuses on “Future Food” will be held in
Potsdam, Germany during October 13th to 19th 2015. Just in the week
ahead of the 12th European Congress of Nutrition held in Berlin.
The growing world population,
urbanization, climate change and changes in dietary habits are among the
megatrends of the future. Protein and energy demands as well as sufficient
micronutrients must be sustainably available to substantially reduce the risks
of the double burden of malnutrition such as micronutrient deficiencies and
diet-related non-communicable diseases. This provides global agriculture,
industry and society with a daunting challenge: We need to rethink what we will
eat, not only in emerging and developing countries. In the Potsdam Summer
School of International Nutrition "Future Food" the most important
trends will be discussed.
International Alumni of any
German University from developing countries who
are professionally involved in nutrition and interested in exchanging ideas,
problem concepts and country specific approaches in the framework of rural or
urban, public or private sector development are cordially invited to apply for
the summer school.
DAAD and BMZ will support travel,
participation and housing during the Summer School and the participation at the
12. European Congress of Nutrition (October 20th-23rd).
Extended deadline for
application is May 31st, 2015.
