Between October 23 and 26, the Main Event of the 5th edition of the Nutrition Science Student (N2S) Conference will take place, an annual scientific congress organized by students of the Bachelor's Degree in Nutrition Sciences at NOVA Medical School.
This year, under the motto “Health Powered by Nutrition,” the 2025 edition reinforces the importance of nutrition as a central driver of health in all its dimensions—physical, mental, and social.
The N2S Conference has established itself as a space of excellence for the promotion and sharing of knowledge in the field of Nutrition, involving not only students but also health professionals and specialists from different areas related to health promotion and lifestyles. Over the last few editions, the event has seen remarkable growth, bringing together 143 participants at the 2024 Main Event, 117 of whom attended in person. For this 5th edition, the goal is to reach 150 in-person participants, consolidating the Conference as a landmark event on the national scene.
The program for the Main Event of the 2025 N2S Conference will take place over four days:
On October 23, at NOVA Medical School, practical workshops will be held, allowing participants to put their theoretical knowledge in the field of nutrition into practice.
On October 24, also at NOVA Medical School, the N2Strive - test your skills competition will take place in the morning, a reinvented competition that aims to challenge participants to prepare a nutritionally interesting and tasty meal, respecting the culinary traditions of a particular continent.
From the afternoon of October 24 until the end of the Conferences on the 26th, three days of lectures will kick off, with the presence of renowned national and international speakers. The program includes plenary sessions, round tables, keynotes, Q&A sessions, among others. The first day of lectures, October 24, will take place at NOVA Medical School. October 25 and 26 will be held at the Rectory of NOVA University Lisbon.
This event, planned over the course of a year by our students, is more than a conference: it is an opportunity to experience Nutrition as a constantly evolving science and as a vital element for health.
We invite all interested parties—students, health professionals, and the academic community—to join us in this unique experience of sharing knowledge, innovation, and approaching the professional world of Nutrition.
