[wpanchor id="event"] About the event
	
The ILSI Europe Annual Symposium (IEAS) will be back on 24 & 25 October 2023 in Brussels.
IEAS 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 also an opportunity for stakeholders to take part in the debate around those topics and create connections. 
This year, we also propose as a side event an interdisciplinary interactive workshop on the health benefits of prebiotics. (fully booked)

	Wednesday 25 October: Prebiotics "sandpit"

Identifying knowledge gaps and a roadmap for building a health claims portfolio


	
 
Interdisciplinary interactive workshop organised by the Prebiotic Task Force to identify current gaps in scientific understanding and support for prebiotic health benefits and the link to microbiota modulation.
Objectives

Provide a state-of-the-art overview of the scientific evidence on the health benefits of prebiotics and the link to microbiota modulation.
Identify the current routes to make a prebiotic claim for food or food supplements in Europe and compare these with worldwide health claim regulations (e.g. North America, Asia-Pacific).
Design and co-build a roadmap to progress scientific support for prebiotic health effects and health claim substantiation.

What to expect from the interactive sandpits?
Three experts in the field will give a presentation on the mechanistic, clinical and regulatory insights related to prebiotic health benefits. The session will be closed with a 40min interactive discussion, in which the experts and workshop participants aim to answer the following questions:

What is the consensus position with regard to the mechanism(s) and evidence linking prebiotics, microbiome modulation and physiological function for the corresponding topics?
What are the gaps (both scientifically and from a regulatory perspective) regarding health claims for prebiotics and the corresponding topic?
What is needed (or should be done) to approach/tackle these gaps?
What could be an ideal roadmap to address these gaps and develop further support for prebiotic health effects and health claim substantiations?

[wpanchor id="event"] About the event
	
The ILSI Europe Annual Symposium (IEAS) will be back on 24 & 25 October 2023 in Brussels.
IEAS 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 also an opportunity for stakeholders to take part in the debate around those topics and create connections. 
This year, we also propose as a side event an interdisciplinary interactive workshop on the health benefits of prebiotics. (fully booked)

	Wednesday 25 October: Prebiotics "sandpit"

Identifying knowledge gaps and a roadmap for building a health claims portfolio


	
 
Interdisciplinary interactive workshop organised by the Prebiotic Task Force to identify current gaps in scientific understanding and support for prebiotic health benefits and the link to microbiota modulation.
Objectives

Provide a state-of-the-art overview of the scientific evidence on the health benefits of prebiotics and the link to microbiota modulation.
Identify the current routes to make a prebiotic claim for food or food supplements in Europe and compare these with worldwide health claim regulations (e.g. North America, Asia-Pacific).
Design and co-build a roadmap to progress scientific support for prebiotic health effects and health claim substantiation.

What to expect from the interactive sandpits?
Three experts in the field will give a presentation on the mechanistic, clinical and regulatory insights related to prebiotic health benefits. The session will be closed with a 40min interactive discussion, in which the experts and workshop participants aim to answer the following questions:

What is the consensus position with regard to the mechanism(s) and evidence linking prebiotics, microbiome modulation and physiological function for the corresponding topics?
What are the gaps (both scientifically and from a regulatory perspective) regarding health claims for prebiotics and the corresponding topic?
What is needed (or should be done) to approach/tackle these gaps?
What could be an ideal roadmap to address these gaps and develop further support for prebiotic health effects and health claim substantiations?
