This week, from June 15 to 18, Montbrió del Camp hosts the 43rd International Symposium on Diabetes and Nutrition (abbreviated as DNSG from the English initials of the organizing body, Diabetes and Nutrition Study Group), which is currently chaired by Hana Kahleova, from the United States. This symposium is a global meeting point for research in diabetes and nutrition and at the local level, this year, it involves the participation of the Southern Catalonia Biomedical Research Institute – IRBCatSud and the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV).
The aim of this symposium is to share knowledge regarding research in nutrition, diabetes and the prevention of chronic diseases. It should be noted that the DNSG group is a reference when it comes to developing recommendations on nutrition at the European level and based on diabetes. “That DNSG 2026 is being held in our region and has reached full capacity is magnificent news for our scientific and healthcare institutions”, highlights the organizing committee, made up of the Vice-President of the Symposium and member of the local organizing committee of the congress Jordi Salas; the director of IRB CatSud, Joan Vendrell; and the professor of Nutrition and Food Science at the URV Nancy Babio.
This edition, on the other hand, features a record number of 118 scientific presentations, which address aspects to be considered in the fields of obesity, diabetes and precision medicine, among many other topics.
One of the elements that makes this edition stand out is the collaboration of a local Scientific Committee made up of representatives from the main Spanish scientific societies and research networks related to diabetes, nutrition, obesity and metabolic health. Another relevant factor is that, among the most prominent scientists participating in the congress, is Dr. Frank Hu, Chair of the Department of Nutrition and Professor of Nutrition and Epidemiology at Harvard University.
