Nutrients Webinar | Advancing Methodological Rigor in Nutritional Epidemiology, 9 February 2026
On 9 February 2026, MDPI and the journal Nutrients (ISSN: 2072-6643) will host a webinar titled “Advancing Methodological Rigor in Nutritional Epidemiology”.
Nutritional epidemiology plays a critical role in shaping dietary guidance, clinical practice, and public health policy. At the same time, it is a field that has faced sustained scrutiny due to inconsistent findings, challenges in dietary assessment, and methodological limitations that can complicate interpretation and erode public trust. As the demand for clear, actionable nutrition guidance continues to grow, improving the rigor and transparency of our research methods has never been more important.
This webinar’s speakers bring complementary perspectives that align closely with these goals. Their talks span methodological evaluation, applied examples, and practical guidance, and together, they reflect the spirit of this Special Issue.
