14th June 2011: Critical micronutrients in pregnancy, lactation and infancy

The EURRECA / ENA scientific workshop “Critical micronutrients in pregnancy, lactation and infancy” will be held at the Tutzing conference centre near Munich, Germany on 14 to 16 June 2011.

Supplementation with iron, folate and vitamin D in the perinatal period is still a highly controversial issue in many countries. This workshop aims at bringing together a number of outstanding experts and new investigators in this area to discuss new issues and open questions on the need of supplementation of pregnant and lactating women and infants.

The workshop is funded by the EURRECA Network of Excellence (www.eurreca.org) and cosponsored by the Early Nutrition Academy (ENA) (www.early-nutrition.org). The organisation lies with the University of Munich and ILSI Europe.

Registration deadline 15th January 2011.
