Power of Food – Network launch!

Join us for the launch event of “The Power of Food” Network!

POF illustration

The Power of Food aspires to connect experts across key disciplines that influence dietary choice, creating synergy between food science, nutrition, health, epidemiology as well as social and behavioral sciences to develop inter-disciplinary research proposals.

Our vision is to

i) highlight the need for funding opportunities to address the grey zone between food and medicine.

ii) establish a forum of experts to participate in funding applications and serve as brainstorming partners to foster synergies between these disciplines.

The event includes

  1. An open session showcasing keynote speakers, open discussions with funders, and the possibility to network with members.
  2. A closed session (incl. dinner) where network members collaborate to share knowledge and develop project ideas.

If you are interested to register as network member, reach out to us by email (pof@ku.dk). A limited number of membership registrations will be available on the day.
