About the event
As interest in plant-based diets grows, understanding their nutritional adequacy, safety, and feasibility in infancy becomes increasingly important.
This webinar will present key insights from the recent publication on plant-based protein in infant nutrition by ILSI Europe's Early Nutrition and Long-Term Health (ENLH) Task Force, bringing together perspectives from nutrition science, clinical practice, and food research. It will explore:
- Current evidence on plant-based proteins in infant nutrition
- Key scientific and nutritional considerations
- Critical research gaps and future directions

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

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 bioactive dietary factors in promoting healthy gut microbiota, namely prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics, which are increasingly recognised for their potential health benefits to the host.
ObjectivesThe 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
The1-day symposium will be held at:

About the event
TITAN and Data4Food2030 projects are coming to an end and they have joined forces to co-organise a flagship conference. This event will take place on 17-18 June 2026 in Brussels, Belgium.
The conference will showcase the results of two major European projects while bringing together researchers, industry leaders, startups, policymakers, and investors. It will highlight how innovative technologies can strengthen agrifood supply chains, advance the fair data economy, and support the transition to a more sustainable food system.
Besides presenting project outcomes, the conference is designed to open space for dialogue and collaboration. By connecting science, industry, investment, and policy, it seeks to create new partnerships and accelerate real-world impact.
