The countdown for the IUNS-20th International Congress of Nutrition (ICN), which will take place in Granada 15 to 20 September 2013, has begun. The Scientific Program Committee has prepared a very promising program which is already announced on our congress website (www.icn2013.com). I hope you have not missed the deadline for submitting abstracts to the organizing committee.
Meanwhile you must have been approached by the IUNS Secretariat with three invitations for nomination for the IUNS Award, IUNS Fellows and for the IUNS Council 2013-2017. I herewith encourage and urge you to make use of your right to nominate YOUR candidates.
I also invite you to register for the ICN and participate in the planned activities. At the General Assembly your delegates will actively participate in the election of the council members, approve the proposed nominations presented by the Nominating Committee and the IUNS Council and decide on the venue of the future IUNS scientific events.
I am looking forward to welcoming all of you in Granada
Ibrahim Elmadfa
IUNS-President
