ILSI Europe's Symposium on Nutrition for the Ageing Brain, initiated in 2014, gathers experts to review the evidence supporting how nutrients, food and diet influence brain health.

The 5th edition of the Symposium will take place on 6 & 7 June 2025 in Chania, Crete (Greece).

For the Symposium's 5th edition, we are collaborating with the Mediterranean Neuroscience Society. Via this organisation we wish to reach not only researchers but also health practitioners to raise their awareness on benefits of nutrition for mental health. The ILSI Europe "Ageing Brain" Symposium will preceede the 2025 MNS conference, taking place from 7 to 11 June in the same place.
