IUNS is pleased to announce that the 24th IUNS International Congress of Nutrition (IUNS-ICN) will take place in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, in 2029. This Congress will bring together nutrition scientists, policymakers, and practitioners from around the world to share knowledge and strengthen collaboration in the field.
The Selection Process
Canada was selected as the host nation following a competitive bidding process that included strong proposals from Brisbane, Australia, and Accra, Ghana. During IUNS-ICN 2025 in Paris, the Canadian Nutrition Society (CNS) presented its bid, highlighting Canada’s contributions to nutrition science, research, and policy, as well as its capacity to host an inclusive and impactful global event.
On August 25, CNS President Dr. Stéphanie Chevalier and Past-President Dr. Rajavel Elango presented to the IUNS Assembly of Adhering Bodies.
Announcement and Next Steps
At the conclusion of the Congress in Paris, Dr. Rajavel Elango announced Canada’s selection during the closing ceremony, extending an invitation to all IUNS members and partners to gather in Vancouver in 2029.
The decision, as voted for by the IUNS General Assembly, reflects the strong case presented by CNS and the collective support of the Canadian nutrition community.
Looking Ahead
IUNS congratulates the Canadian Nutrition Society and its partners on their successful bid. Planning is now underway to ensure that IUNS-ICN 2029 provides an engaging forum for scientific exchange, international collaboration, and progress in global nutrition.
We look forward to welcoming delegates from around the world to Vancouver in 2029!
