Welcome to the NUTRIMENTHE Project
NUTRIMENTHE is a research project funded by the European Commission through its 7th Framework Programme. The project is looking at the role that diet plays in the mental performance of children. The project, which began on the 1st March 2008 involves scientists from 20 organisations from nine countries worldwide. It is being coordinated by Professor Cristina Campoy from the University of Granada, Spain, and will run until December 31st 2013. For more details about the research we are undertaking, please visit our "About the Project" page.

NUTRIMENTHE International Conference 13th and 14th September 2013, Granada, Spain
The NUTRIMENTHE consortium is pleased to welcome you to Granada in September 2013 for our International Conference.
NOTE: Abstract submission for the NUTRIMENTHE Conference has been extended until 15th May 2013.
NUTRIMENTHE was set up in 2008 to improve our knowledge of how pre-natal and childhood nutrition affects later mental performance. This international conference will showcase the results of the project, providing delegates with a wealth of new information and key messages about how diet during pregnancy and childhood, can influence later mental performance. Delegates can submit abstracts for exhibition as posters or, for oral presentation. Criteria for abstract submission to the NUTRIMENTHE conference can be viewed online here. Accepted abstracts will be published in the Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism,
• Date: 13th - 14th September, 2013
• Place: Sala Machuca y Albeniz - Granada Conference and Exhibition Centre, Granada, Spain

In addition, NUTRIMENTHE will be running a:-Young Scientists’ Forum Lecture Competition, 13th September.
The aim of the Forum is to give young scientists the opportunity to showcase their work to their peers and an internationally renowned audience of researchers. The Forum will provide an atmosphere of friendly competition for young scientists, to help them enhance their presentation and communication skills. Prizes will be awarded to the best presentations.
