3) provide evidence-based advice on nutrition for infants, children and adolescents in health and illness
4) inform about how to prevent, diagnose and manage nutritional diseases in childhood
5) offer a unique platform for learning and exchange
6) give delegates the opportunity to present their research and receive feedback from the expert faculty form various European centres, as well as from participants from around the world.

The course language is English.
