Congress in Porto September 2010 and increased impact factor.

Meeting up with colleagues from all over the world is important for the progress of our profession, getting updated and building our professional network. In order to provide possibilities to really discuss rather than engage in inactive listening, the programme includes symposia, keynote lectures, workshops, controversy debates, breakfast and lunch forums including ‘meet the professor’ opportunities, special sessions and poster presentations. The total scope of the congress is promising for providing that important ingredient that makes it important to meet in person rather than conferencing over the Internet. This conference is NOT funded by food industry, which is unique for nutritional conferences of this magnitude (http:// nutrition2010.com.pt).
