European Society for Clinical Nutrition & Metabolism

The ESPEN meeting provides a great opportunity for physicians, dietitians, pharmacists, scientists and nurses to meet and discuss the most recent data in the field of nutrition and metabolism

Together with the members of the ESPEN committees, the local organisers composed an attractive scientific and educational programme along the motto “Nutrition on the Move”. Nutritional science is generating constantly new findings which have to be implemented in daily practice. What was true yesterday may be wrong in the future.   A distinguished international faculty shared their updated experience and involved delegates in discussions about the most recent developments in clinical nutrition.

The ESPEN Congress on Clinical Nutrition & Metabolism 2013 was held in Leipzig, Germany from 31st August till 3rd Sept 2013. The congress encouraged many interesting, broad and open minded programmes, offering both updated and cutting-edge science, as well as clinical practice delivered by international experts.

The Spanish Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (SENPE) organized the 34th Congress of the European Society of Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) in Spain, in the historic and cultural city of Barcelona. In close collaboration with the members of ESPEN Committees, an attractive educational and scientific programme was designed, which broadly covered the fields of nutrition and metabolism. In harmony with the motto of the Congress “Achieving goals in nutrition”, the Congress addressed the practical aspects of nutritional treatment, definied goals in nutrition care and presented the advances of the last few years. The NNI  organized a satellite symposium "Synergy in Motion: Combining nutrition and exercise for optimal physical function".
