This year’s congress promises to be an exciting and transformative event, bringing together thought leaders and experts from across the globe to explore cutting-edge advances in clinical nutrition. As the President-Elect of the International College of Nutrition, I am proud to present a gathering focused on the growing significance of personalized nutrition. Tailoring dietary recommendations to individual genetic, metabolic, microbiome, and environmental profiles is at the heart of modern nutritional science, and this congress will highlight and discuss these critical topics in depth.

Our shared mission at the 28th WCCN is to foster collaborative partnerships among researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and industry leaders. Together, we will explore how to translate evidence-based health promotion strategies into actionable, sustainable nutrition policies that can make a real difference in global health outcomes. This congress will also serve as a platform for sharing best practices and innovations in nutrition that can help prevent diseases and promote healthier communities. We are excited to engage in thought-provoking discussions and sessions that contribute to a deeper interdisciplinary approach to nutrition and health, all while considering how we can build sustainable diets tailored to individual needs and promoting long-term well-being.
