We are pleased to announce that the 4th International Electronic Conference on Nutrients (IECN 2024) is back. The conference is organized by the MDPI’s journal Nutrients (ISSN: 2072-6643, Impact Factor: 5.9) and will take place virtually from 16 to 18 October 2024, Central European Summer Time.

This conference aims to serve as a multidisciplinary platform for the exploration of innovative research and advancements in nutrient science. Emphasizing both macro- and micronutrients, the conference will delve into novel methodologies for nutrient extraction, bioavailability, and functional food development. Analytical techniques such as metabolomics, proteomics, and nutrient profiling will be discussed in the context of their application to food safety and quality. As the global search for healthier and more sustainable diets intensifies, the role of nutrients and lifestyle modification are at the forefront. For a healthier and more sustainable diet, it is clear that most people will need to incorporate more plant-based foods into their diet. Moreover, as we strive to feed a growing world population, the role of plant-based foods becomes increasingly critical. The aim is to explore the effectiveness of using plant-based nutrition as a primary approach in preventing, suspending, and even reversing chronic diseases. Furthermore, the conference aims to foster dialogue on the critical intersections between nutrient science, public health, and sustainable food systems. Our collective goal is to challenge existing scientific paradigms, broaden the scope of research, and contribute to an integrated approach where innovation, health, and sustainability coexist harmoniously.

The topics of this conference include:
S1. Plant-Based Diets: Health and Well-being;
S2. Innovation in Dietary Choices;
S3. Diet and Chronic Disease Management;
S4. Global Nutrition Trends: Shaping Health and Athletic Performance;
S5. Behavioral Approaches to Healthier Eating;
S6. Nutrition Across the Lifespan.

Important Deadlines:
1. Deadline for abstract submission: 18 June 2024.
2. Announcement of oral and poster abstract results: 16 August 2024. You will be notified of the acceptance of an oral/poster presentation in a separate email.
