World Network of NutriNet studies

This symposium, titled "World Network of NutriNet studies" aims 1) To officially lauch the World Network of NutriNet studies; 2) To foster international discussions on questions and challenges related to participatory research in nutritional epidemiology; 3) To call for the setting of new NutriNet-like studies in other countries that could join the network. In 2009, CRESS-EREN launched the NutriNet-Santé study in France and now gathers >180 000 citizens who contribute to advance knowledge on nutrition and health. Recently, Brazil and Canada successfully launched NutriNet-like studies with already several thousands of participants. We now want to federate these initiatives in a global network to facilitate scientific and methodological discussions and to encourage new initiatives of this type in additional countries.
