Southeast Asia is experiencing rapid population aging, with rising non-communicable diseases challenging the extension of health span. Nutrition is a key, modifiable driver of healthy longevity, influencing metabolic health, physical and immune functions, as well as wellness and age-related decline across the life course.

This 2-day symposium convenes regional and international experts to translate advancing science, emerging knowledge and innovations into practical solutions. It will address translational nutrition impacting health, harness research on food and ingredients innovation alongside culturally relevant diets, share enabling systems and policy frameworks. Through cross-sector dialogue, the symposium aims to foster collaboration, align regional priorities, and catalyse research and action to advance healthy aging, extend health span with longevity across Southeast Asia.

The 2-day symposium will be held at:

Plant-Based Infant Nutrition: What Clinicians Need to Know?

Join us at for a 20-minute, small-group session for quick, practical insights.

Led by Yvan Vandenplas (Vrije Universiteit Brussel) and Sascha Verbruggen (Erasmus University Rotterdam), key authors of a recent publication from ILSI Europe's "Early Nutrition & Long-Term Health" Task Force, this session translates expert discussions into clinically relevant takeaways:

  • What plant-based options are currently available?
  • What are the main nutritional considerations in practice?
  • Where does the evidence remain uncertain or limited?

💬 Includes an interactive Q&A, allowing direct exchange with the experts.

WHEN?

  • Thursday, 25 June | 16:45 - 17:10 (presentation by Sascha Verbruggen)
  • Friday, 26 June | 12:25 - 12:50 (presentation by Yvan Vandenplas)

WHERE?

About the event

The 23rd International Congress of the European Society of Toxicology In Vitro (ESTIV 2026), taking place in Maastricht, the Netherlands, from 29 June to 2 July 2026. Under the theme "Ensuring Safety, Advancing Science: Bridging to the Future with NAMs," the congress will bring together researchers, regulators, and industry experts to explore the latest advances in New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) and the future of non-animal toxicology.

ILSI Europe's Expert Presentation

Prof. Cyrille Krul (University of Applied Sciences of Utrecht, NL), Chair of the New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) Task Force will be presenting during the session "Advancing the use of NAMs in food safety: innovations, challenges, and future directions", with a focus on the role of NAMs in transforming to human based safety assessment

About the event

The ILSI Europe Symposium is a gathering of experts from around the world who meet to shed light on the current and future challenges in food safety, nutrition, and sustainability. It is a unique opportunity for scientists from academia, industry and public sector to take part in the debate around those topics and create connections.

This year's event will showcase the latest research from ILSI Europe's Task Forces, covering areas from healthy nutrition across the lifespan, to gut microbiome health, food allergens and food contaminants management, the next generation of risk assessment methods, and much more.

In celebration of ILSI Europe's 40th anniversary, we'll cap off the event with a gala dinner and party, making it a truly memorable occasion for networking and collaboration.

The gut microbiota is a complex and diverse ecosystem comprising over 100 trillion microorganisms located predominantly in the distal gut and plays essential roles in nutrient absorption and metabolism, protection against pathogens, regulation of immune function, and strengthening of the gut and intestinal barriers. Increasing evidence recognises a healthy gut microbiota as a critical determinant of human health, while alterations in its composition and functionality, often referred to as microbial dysbiosis, are associated with metabolic disorders and pathological processes such as inflammatory bowel disease, obesity, metabolic syndrome, autism, and certain cancers. Among the many factors that influence the diversity and composition of the gut microbiota, dietary factors are considered one of the main drivers across the lifetime.

This symposium will focus on 3 non-nutritional dietary factors in promoting healthy gut microbiota, namely prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics, which are increasingly recognised for their potential health benefits to the host. 

Objectives

The symposium aims to:

  • Provide scientific updates, including their roles in promoting a healthy gut microbiota
  • Share research, innovative development and applications in food and supplements
  • Review of regulatory status in SEA countries
  • Discuss consumer understanding, perception and utilization
