Dear EUPHA Chronic Diseases Section Members,

As we reach the midpoint of the year, we’re thrilled to share a few key updates and events before we head into the summer break. It’s been a dynamic and productive first half of 2025, and we look forward to continuing this momentum in the months ahead.

International Symposium – This Week!

We’re delighted to announce that our 2nd International Symposium on “Society, Nutrition and Chronic Disease Prevention: Time for a Paradigm Shift” is taking place this week, 5–6 June 2025, at the Neuromed Institute in Molise, Italy.

The response has been truly encouraging, with a strong turnout of registrations from across Europe and beyond—both on-site and online. Thank you to everyone who has registered and supported this collaborative event with the EUPHA Food & Nutrition Section.

Registration for online participation is still possible. Click here to register. Read more about the programme here.

Don’t miss this important session, which will highlight the Italian experience in developing national-level strategies and funding mechanisms for dementia care.

Summer Break – See You in September!

This will be our last newsletter before the summer break. We’ll return in September, refreshed and ready, with our next webinar scheduled for 18 September 2025– more details will follow in due course.

In the meantime, we’d like to wish all our members a relaxing and enjoyable summer. While we’ll be taking a short break from newsletters and webinars, we remain available should you have any questions, ideas, or requests—please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Thank you once again for your active participation and support.

Warm regards,

Sarah (sarah.cuschieri@um.edu.mt) and Saverio
