About the event

The ILSI Europe Symposium is a gathering of experts from around the world who meet to shed light on the current and future challenges in food safety, nutrition, and sustainability. It is a unique opportunity for scientists from academia, industry and public sector to take part in the debate around those topics and create connections.

This year's event will showcase the latest research from ILSI Europe's Task Forces, covering areas from healthy nutrition across the lifespan, to gut microbiome health, food allergens and food contaminants management, the next generation of risk assessment methods, and much more.

In celebration of ILSI Europe's 40th anniversary, we'll cap off the event with a gala dinner and party, making it a truly memorable occasion for networking and collaboration.

TITAN-x-Data4Food2030-Conference-2048x1070 (1)

About the event

TITAN and Data4Food2030 projects are coming to an end and they have joined forces to co-organise a flagship conference. This event will take place on 17-18 June 2026 in Brussels, Belgium.

The conference will showcase the results of two major European projects while bringing together researchers, industry leaders, startups, policymakers, and investors. It will highlight how innovative technologies can strengthen agrifood supply chains, advance the fair data economy, and support the transition to a more sustainable food system.

Besides presenting project outcomes, the conference is designed to open space for dialogue and collaboration. By connecting science, industry, investment, and policy, it seeks to create new partnerships and accelerate real-world impact.

Plant-Based Infant Nutrition: What Clinicians Need to Know?

Join us at for a 20-minute, small-group session for quick, practical insights.

Led by Yvan Vandenplas (Vrije Universiteit Brussel) and Sascha Verbruggen (Erasmus University Rotterdam), key authors of a recent publication from ILSI Europe's "Early Nutrition & Long-Term Health" Task Force, this session translates expert discussions into clinically relevant takeaways:

  • What plant-based options are currently available?
  • What are the main nutritional considerations in practice?
  • Where does the evidence remain uncertain or limited?

💬 Includes an interactive Q&A, allowing direct exchange with the experts.

WHEN?

  • Thursday, 25 June | 16:45 - 17:10 (presentation by Sascha Verbruggen)
  • Friday, 26 June | 12:25 - 12:50 (presentation by Yvan Vandenplas)

WHERE?

  • Current evidence on plant-based proteins in infant nutrition
  • Key scientific and nutritional considerations
  • Critical research gaps and future directions
