La evidencia científica se refiere a la información o datos obtenidos mediante métodos científicos rigurosos, como estudios experimentales, observacionales o revisiones sistemáticas, que permiten validar hipótesis o conclusiones. Esta evidencia se genera a través de investigaciones controladas, repetibles y objetivas, y es evaluada y revisada por la comunidad científica.

Metodología: el curso, propiedad de la Academia Española de Nutrición y Dietética, será impartido para Latinoamérica por medio de ILSI Mesoamérica y se realizará a través de la plataforma virtual de la Academia, en la que podrán asistir un grupo de un máximo de 50 personas de manera simultánea.

El curso e-learning tiene una duración aproximada de 10 semanas, en los cuales los participantes podrán acceder desde sus teléfonos móviles, computadoras o laptops y/o tablets a las clases, tareas, evaluaciones y conversatorios del tema.

Las clases en directo se dictarán a las 19:00 horas de España. Este horario corresponde a 11:00 am de Centroamérica y México.

Certificado: el certificado del curso será elaborado y enviado por la Academia Española de Nutrición y Dietética en formato digital y será entregado posterior a la finalización del curso siempre y cuando el participante haya aprobado el mismo.

Responsables: el curso será diseñado e impartido por el equipo de académicos de la Academia Española de Nutrición y Dietética.

Fecha de inicio del curso:  10 febrero 2025

Fecha de finalización del curso: 25 abril 2025

Inversión: $500 (dólares americanos) que incluye IVA y monto para becar a oficiales de gobiernos.

Proceso de matrícula:

  1. Las personas interesadas pueden registrarse en este enlace: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeJH8EXonaMBak7cuBXD8WfHfxQZOR_9O6GuTfkLRY-CUGuAA/viewform?usp=sf_link
  2. El único requisito es ser una persona profesional con interés de capacitarse en el uso de la evidencia en temas relacionados con la nutrición y los alimentos.
  3. El pago del curso se puede hacer por medio de un botón de pago que se les hará llegar a sus correos una vez que se complete el formulario.

About the event

The Microplastics Initiative Community of Practice is preparing a webinar series for 2025 centered around four key focus areas: Analytics, Exposure, Biomonitoring, and Health Impact.

This first webinar will focus on analytical methods for detecting and quantifying microplastics in food, with an emphasis on spectroscopic techniques such as FTIR, Raman microscopy and mass-based (Pyrolsis-GC/MS).

Webinar title: Analytical Methods for Detecting and Quantifying Microplastics in Food: Spectroscopic Techniques and Machine Learning Applications

Speaker: Dr. Dieter Fischer (Leibniz-Institut für Polymerforschung Dresden, DE) will discuss the application of automated analytical methods, enhanced by machine learning algorithms, to identify and quantify microplastic particles. Drawing from his work on the MICROPLEXFOOD CORNET project, he will cover the development of SOPs and analytical methods specifically designed for investigating packaging, process lines, beverages, soluble and complex food samples.

Explore the latest research on food packaging safety and sustainability


ILSI Europe International Symposium on Food Packaging is held every four years. It is internationally recognised as a scientific forum to discuss and move forward the science that supports safety and innovation in the field, with minimal environmental impact. This conference of experts facilitates transfer of knowledge and brings innovative solutions to the most pressing issues in this field.

The 8th edition will take place at the Valamar Lacroma Dubrovnik Hotel, in Dubrovnik, Croatia during four days from 1 to 4 April 2025. It will be structured around five main themes:

  • Advances in Analytical Techniques
  • Progress in Toxicological Prediction and Assessment
  • Progress in Risk Assessment
  • Food Contact Materials in Circular Economy
  • Innovative Packaging

About the event

The aim of this workshop is to review and discuss existing guidelines for conducting clinical trials on probiotics, with a focus on their unique characteristics. The workshop will highlight gaps in current guidelines and explore ways to enhance them, ensuring the design and execution of robust, high-quality studies.

Recognized experts in the field will participate in this workshop to help shape the future of probiotics research. Through interactive discussions, we aim to:

  • Share perspectives on current challenges in probiotics study design.
  • Provide recommendations for improving and expanding existing guidelines.
  • Collaborate with fellow experts to identify actionable next steps.

This workshop will bring together leading researchers, clinicians, and industry representatives, fostering a dynamic exchange of ideas and encouraging collaboration.

About the event

This event, organized by the TITAN EU Project, is dedicated to exploring how the European Union's Green Deal initiatives can create competitive advantages within the food sector through enhanced digital transparency across value chains.

As the EU strives to become the first climate-neutral continent by 2050,  the European Commission has introduced groundbreaking directives under the EU Green Deal, including the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), the Nature Restoration Regulation and the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation. This legislative framework provides a fertile ground for improving accountability in supply chains and inspiring sustainable business practices as the new normal on both European and global scale.

Representatives from public institutions, international organizations, trade associations, and companies will gather to examine best practices, identify the key challenges for transparency creation and potential gaps within the regulatory framework, and develop actionable recommendations for the food system.
