18th
International Congress of Nutrition. "Nutrition
Safari for Innovative Solutions". The aim is
to bring nutrition role players from all over the world
to Africa in order to explore, exchange and integrate
knowledge about nutrition to generate new insights and
to define innovative solutions for global nutrition
problems. We want to fit and align the circle of solutions
into the triangle of nutrition problems! These interactions
should and will contribute to an increased political
awareness of the human right to be food and nutrition
secure. It will also emphasize the importance of nutrition
for human development, health and well-being, equity,
and a quality of life for all.

The 1st Conference on Polyphenols and Health was held
in Vichy, France 2003, and the goal of the second conference
is to build on the successes of the first by highlighting
the most important areas of recent success as well as
exploring those topics that appear to be the most interesting
for the future. The themes of the meeting will include
the following:
* Basic aspects of polyphenol action in biological
systems
* Polyphenols in cardiovascular disease and cancer
* Polyphenols in neurodegeneration
* Polyphenol metabolism
* Food composition and polyphenol effects on health
* New aspects of polyphenol physiology: nutragenomics
and metabolomics
This conference will appeal to scientists from around
the globe who are working in the area as well as many
others who have an interest in joining the field. In
addition, companies who have an interest or are considering
an effort in polyphenols will want to know about the
latest developments in the field. The organizers are
willing to provide financial help to encourage the participation
of scientists in the early stage of their careers, as
well as scientists based in countries where the sciences
are under-supported. Please contact polyphenols@ucdavis.edu
with any requests.
