	Most countries have established recommended nutrient intake values for use for a variety of food and nutrition programs. These have traditionally been provided as recommended dietary allowances (RDAs), with focus on energy, protein and several vitamins and minerals. They are classically used to ensure adequacy of intake of these nutrients of population groups. While these remain of great importance, especially for developing countries, it has now been observed that certain nutrients, when taken at higher dose above RDA, may confer health benefit(s) beyond prevention of nutritional disorders. It would be important to examine how these levels may provide protective effects against some disease conditions. Understanding and establishing appropriate safe upper limit (UL) of nutrients are also of importance. Additionally, there is growing scientific evidence that bioactive components in foods may provide health benefits beyond classical nutrients. Regulatory authorities have permitted the addition of these components to foods and to make function claims.

This seminar provides a platform to review and deliberate on these various aspects of recommended intake values for nutrients and bioactives. These have important implications and impact on various aspects of food and nutrition activities, including food intake programs, product innovation, food fortification, and supplementation.

About the event
Bring your research needs to the table! In 2022, ILSI Europe embarked on a transformation journey with the aim to evolve into a more agile, future looking, and member- & stakeholder-centric organization. In the process of developing a new value proposition, ILSI Europe organized three tripartite expert panels in November 2022 to identify the current and upcoming priorities in terms of research across three pillars: 'Food safety and quality', 'Food, nutrition and health' and 'Food security and sustainability'.
It is now time to build upon their recommendations and refine the research activities that ILSI Europe and its members will focus on in the coming months and years.
During this in person workshop, the experts will present the selected themes. Representatives of companies active in the field of food or food-related sector will then have the opportunity to exchange on emerging issues within these themes and bring their research questions forward to co-build new activities within ILSI Europe's new future-looking research agenda.
Join us for a morning of interactions together with seasoned, new and potential ILSI Europe industry members, and the experts who co-developed the pillars. And be inspired by our keynote speaker, Prof. Olivier De Schutter, UN Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights and Co-chair of the International Panel of Experts on Sustainable Food Systems (IPES-Food).
Program

09:00 Introduction by Isabelle Guelinckx
09:15 First "World Café" on research themes from our three pillars, followed by a plenary debrief.

About the themes
Here are some of the themes that were put forward as priority research areas by the expert panels and that will be proposed in the workshop to formulate research questions:

Ingredients, foods and diets for the future
Processing for safe, nutritious & sustainable food
Stratified approaches to screen & address double burden of malnutrition
Characterising & evaluating health impact of what we eat
15 years of health claim: where are we now and where are we heading?
Assessing reality of risk
Risk vs benefit in Food Safety

	Most countries have established recommended nutrient intake values for use for a variety of food and nutrition programs. These have traditionally been provided as recommended dietary allowances (RDAs), with focus on energy, protein and several vitamins and minerals. They are classically used to ensure adequacy of intake of these nutrients of population groups. While these remain of great importance, especially for developing countries, it has now been observed that certain nutrients, when taken at higher dose above RDA, may confer health benefit(s) beyond prevention of nutritional disorders. It would be important to examine how these levels may provide protective effects against some disease conditions. Understanding and establishing appropriate safe upper limit (UL) of nutrients are also of importance. Additionally, there is growing scientific evidence that bioactive components in foods may provide health benefits beyond classical nutrients. Regulatory authorities have permitted the addition of these components to foods and to make function claims.

This seminar provides a platform to review and deliberate on these various aspects of recommended intake values for nutrients and bioactives. These have important implications and impact on various aspects of food and nutrition activities, including food intake programs, product innovation, food fortification, and supplementation.
