Early- and mid-career researchers (EMCRs) gathered in Perth in July to explore the future of nutrition science. Sixty researchers with diverse research backgrounds from Australia and New Zealand critically evaluated nutrition science and identified goals, tools and control points to advance the discipline into the future.
The meeting was dynamic, with regular interactions between the four working groups resulting in revising and redeveloping the program and the path ahead.
Following the event the researchers are continuing to work together to produce a series of discussion papers. These will contribute to long-term strategic planning for nutrition science in Australia being led by the Academy's National Committee for Nutrition.
Rethinking food and nutrition science was the 16th Theo Murphy High Flyers Think Tank event.
