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.

BACKGROUND
Southeast Asia is experiencing a demographic shift marked by rapidly aging populations, posing significant implications for healthcare systems, economies, and societal structures. Concurrently, scientific advancements are evolving our understanding of aging, and underscoring the pivotal role of nutrients, phytochemicals, and other bioactive compounds in disease prevention. Concepts such as "inflammaging" and immune-senescence have brought attention to the biological underpinnings of aging. These advancements highlight the importance of early intervention and upstream approaches, such as mid-life nutrition and targeting social determinants at early adulthood to mitigate age-related decline.
This 2-day symposium brings together the latest sciences and updates on innovative tools and evidence-based solutions designed to extend healthspan - or healthy years of life. It will also discuss policies, programs and regulatory considerations to support preventive care and reduce the growing healthcare burden of aging. Emphasizing the value of public-private partnerships and on-ground consumer engagement, this event aims to catalyze cross-sector collaboration in promoting healthy longevity.

About the event
The 18th International Scientific Conference on Probiotics, Prebiotics, Gut Microbiota and Health - IPC2025 will be held during the 24th - 26th June 2025 in Athens, Greece.
The goal of conference is to provide a scientific forum for all stakeholders of probiotics and prebiotics and to enable the interactive exchange of state-of-the-art knowledge. The conference is focused on evidence-based benefits, health claims proven in scientific experiments and clinical trials.
New scientific evidences that support or question the efficiency of already existing or prospective substances and applications will be conferred. In addition novel strains, controversial but scientifically solid ideas, approaches and visions will be presented as well.
Further to its scientific content, IPC2025 is a networking event. It is a unique opportunity to meet all the stakeholders of probiotics and prebiotics.

Session information
Session title: Vitamins & Minerals: Understanding Global Deficiencies and Advancing Research MineralsTime and location: TBD
Session chair : Stephane Vidry, ILSI Global & Prof. Connie Weaver, San Diego State University.
Objective
This session aims to advance understanding of nutrient bioavailability assessment through the development and application of predictive algorithms and frameworks. The first presentation will introduce an innovative algorithm designed to assess calcium bioavailability from various foods, discussing the methodology behind its creation and sharing insights gained from its implementation. The second talk will present a collaborative framework developed by an ILSI working group of over 20 international scientists, outlining a systematic approach for constructing nutrient bioavailability prediction equations. Key topics will include methodologies, data extraction, and potential applications. The final presentation will provide expert perspectives on the latest research and ongoing debates surrounding Vitamin K2, clarifying misconceptions and suggesting directions for future studies. Together, these talks aim to promote accurate nutrient bioavailability assessment methods that can support better-informed dietary recommendations.
Background
Understanding nutrient bioavailability-the degree to which nutrients are absorbed and utilized by the body-is essential for accurate dietary guidance and nutrition science. Although nutrient intake is often prioritized in dietary assessments, bioavailability varies widely based on numerous factors, requiring moresophisticated tools to assess true nutrient uptake from foods. Calcium, a critical mineral for bone health, can have variable absorption based on food sources,
spurring the development of the first algorithm specifically designed to estimate calcium bioavailability. Meanwhile, ILSI's international working group has recognized the broader need for systematic nutrient prediction equations, creating a framework to develop these equations through comprehensive review,
standardization, and data methodologies. Additionally, Vitamin K2, despite its importance for cardiovascular and bone health, remains under-researched, with
misconceptions in the field. An expert review will shed light on current knowledge and provide guidance for future studies. Together, these presentations underscore the importance of refined bioavailability assessment tools to enhance nutritional science and public health outcomes.

About the event
In the light of new activities starting in ILSI Europe Task Forces, we see an evident demand to work on mineral oil risk assessment within our industry members and expert groups. This reflects us back to a previous workshop, which was followed by the publication 'Mineral oil risk assessment: Knowledge gaps and roadmap. Outcome of a multi-stakeholders workshop' Trends in Food Science & Technology, 31/05/2021
It has been some time since this last update. We aim to shed some light on the topic through a short webinar. It will build upon the above-mentioned publication and address whether there have been any advancements on the previous research. If there are, we'll share new findings. If there are not, it would be crucial to highlight the reasons on what is holding back the advancements in the area.
