Why should you attend?
Aside from the above, just see what some of those attending last year had to say:
“I didn’t know what to expect from the Nutrition Futures conference, but after attending it, I believe every nutrition student should attend it at least once during their degree. The conference provides an excellent opportunity to meet other nutrition students, academics and industry professionals and to receive some valuable guidance on employability and careers.”
Wendy Zaragoza
“Hearing about all the different career paths from a variety of professionals was truly inspiring and made me become aware of all the career possibilities in the field of nutrition.”
Christine Hodgson
"It was a great experience to hone my scientific communication and presentation skills by presenting my research at Nutrition Futures 2024. Through networking with others who share my passion for nutrition, I was able to gain insights into the diverse fields of nutrition, broaden my career options, and understand the critical importance of nutrition in each respective area."
Arisa Shimada
"Nutrition Futures is an incredible opportunity to learn about the new research and careers in nutrition. It brings together passionate like-minded individuals, inspiring future nutritionists to create a healthier world through science, innovation, and collaboration."

Presenters will be allocated a fixed time slot within the programme. It is essential that all presenters adhere strictly to their allotted time. To ensure the smooth running of the schedule and fairness to all participants, presentations that exceed their allocated time will be brought to a close, regardless of whether the presenter has finished. We recommend rehearsing in advance to ensure your content fits within the designated time frame.
For further information on how to set the timing and speed of PowerPoint slide transitions please visit: Set the timing and speed of a transition - Microsoft Support. Your slides will be requested via email by the Student Section by the 31st of August. Please start preparing your slides ahead of time.
Due to time and space constraints within the conference programme, there is a limit to the number of abstracts that can be accepted for presentation. We encourage early submissions to maximise the chance of success for inclusion.
While we aim to showcase as many student presentations as possible, we cannot guarantee a presentation slot for every student submission. Our ability to include presentations is dependent on the overall number and quality of abstracts received, as well as the structure of the final programme.
Authors will be notified of the outcome of their submission by the WC 11th of August 2025. However, if we reach the maximum number of accepted abstracts before this date, we reserve the right to close abstract submissions early. We therefore encourage students to submit as soon as possible. Decisions made by the conference committee are final and not subject to appeal.
Please note all abstract authors must attend the conference in person. Please do not submit an abstract if you do not plan on attending or presenting at the conference.
Accepted presenters must register for the conference to confirm their place in the programme. We suggest you do so as soon as your submission outcome is known. Failure to register by the deadline may result in removal from the final schedule.
The conference organisers reserve the right to modify the programme, including abstract slots, in response to logistical or scheduling considerations.
If you would like to withdraw an abstract or have any queries, please contact [email protected]
