This year, the International Union of Nutritional Sciences (IUNS) proudly awarded 21 exceptional early-career researchers with the IUNS Early Career Travel Grant, supporting their travel to the IUNS-ICN in Paris to present their work on the global stage.
With hundreds of applications submitted from around the world, the selection process was highly competitive. The final recipients stood out for the quality, originality, and relevance of their abstracts—representing the very best of emerging research in nutrition science and public health.
Honouring Excellence at IUNS-ICN
During the congress, IUNS formally recognised these early-career researchers in nutrition through a dedicated segment in the awards ceremony and a special reception evening. The event celebrated not only their scientific contributions but also their potential to shape the future of global nutrition.
A Night to Remember
The reception was held at the stunning rooftop bar of the Hyatt Regency Etoile, offering panoramic views of Paris and a warm atmosphere for networking and celebration. We were delighted to be joined by Taichi Inui and colleagues from DSM-Firmenich, whose generous sponsorship made the event possible, as well as members of the IUNS Council.
The Future of Nutrition is Bright
As the reception ended, the energy in the room was great—a genuine feeling of inspiration, new connections, and shared goals. The IUNS Council and all attendees were truly impressed by the dedication and important work of these grant recipients. These 21 researchers are not just presenting their research; they are bringing forward the innovative solutions and critical ideas needed to handle the world’s challenges in nutrition and public health.
We offer our sincere congratulations again to all recipients of the IUNS Early Career Travel Grant. Your commitment to advancing nutrition science is inspiring, and we wish you every success as you turn your crucial research into real-world action. IUNS is proud to have supported your journey to the IUNS-ICN in Paris. We look forward to many more opportunities to support and help the next generation of global nutrition leaders in the years ahead.
