Global Capacity Building in Nutrition Science: Training Future Practitioners, Empowering Future Leaders<https://ams.nyas.org/nyasssa/ecmssamsganalytics.click_through?p_mail_id=E123031A3390897B1C22969>



The Sackler Institute for Nutrition Science will bring together leading experts from academia, industry, and the non-profit sector to review the state of educational and professional trainings available in the nutrition domain, and to discuss novel ideas and methods for filling future gaps.



All conference attendees are invited to participate along-side our speakers and moderators, for a series of working group discussions around key areas with the aim of identifying critical knowledge gaps and future research opportunities. These thought provoking and stimulating workshops will include brainstorming, Q&A sessions, and networking opportunities.

AGENDA: Day 1: Thursday May 31, 2012

Working Group Sessions

________________________________



12:30 PM - Registration



1:30 PM - Working Group 1: Scoping the Existing Capacity for Nutrition Program Implementation: Best Practices and Approaches

Moderator: Emorn Wasantwisut, PhD, Mahidol University

Where can we locate the best professional resources to implement nutrition interventions? Primary healthcare workers, community-based volunteers, teachers and social workers have all been under the spotlight, but what are the other resources? What challenges are these professionals facing and how should they be better supported?



2:30 PM - Working Group 2: Building Careers in Nutrition Sciences, Policy and Implementation for Students and Young Graduates

Moderator: Shibani Ghosh, PhD, Tufts University

Nutrition practitioners need to integrate their knowledge of fundamental nutrition sciences with skills in program cycle management and abilities to design or influence policies and regulations. How can students and graduates be supported to build these competencies to be prepared for future management and leadership roles?



3:30 PM - Working Group 3: Mid-Career Nutritionists: Gaps, Challenges, and Ways to Empower Future Leaders

Moderators:  Mandana Arabi, MD, PhD, The Sackler Institute for Nutrition Science and Jessica L. Escobar-Alegria, MSc, University of South Carolina

What are the specific opportunities and challenges facing nutrition scientists as their careers evolve? Where can they find bridges to different sectors and disciplines and how should these connections be facilitated?



4:30 PM - Networking Reception
