GENEVA, Switzerland—The Vitafoods Europe Executive Advisory Board (EAB) issued a call for poster presentations featuring research findings and current projects from experts within the functional food and beverages industry.

Experts are invited to present their findings to the international functional nutrition community and the broader nutraceutical industry at Vitafoods Europe 2015, which takes place in Geneva on May 5 to 7, 2015. The event attracts more than 700 exhibitors and 14,000 visitors from more than 100 countries.

Vitafoods Europe presents a unique platform for showcasing excellence in nutritional science, innovation, business and education, and professional networking and exchange. Successful entries will have the opportunity to present their latest findings to the broader nutraceutical and functional nutrition industry, forge new partnerships and source funding opportunities with venture capital companies looking for investments and network with colleagues.

Topics should be related to academic research or a potential new product or process and ideally provide solutions to identified needs and commercial solutions. Abstracts focusing on innovation, ideas and the application of new research findings will be prioritized.

“Our call for posters gives successful entries the chance to present their insights to their peers and potential new business partners," said Carolina Lindahl, Vitafoods Europe conference and content manager. “A large number of attendees specifically come to the show looking to fulfill business and research needs, and the poster presentations area is one of the first places these attendees look to for new ideas."

The deadline for submissions is January 30, 2015.
