Although inflammation is a relatively new topic in nutrition sciences, it is rapidly developing and becoming increasingly important in both modern nutrition science and medicine. Our aim is to increase the awareness and knowledge on this field among both nutritionists and related postgraduate students. Within this scope, the Nutrition Winterschool will provide a broad range of academic presentations. We will also have interesting keynote lectures as well as many side programmes built around the natural scenic beauty of Lapland.

On this website, you can find general information about the nutrition winterschool as well as the scientific, educational and social program of this project.
